With "escape=json", nginx will escape variables to be usable in 
JSON structures, so you will be able to use them in log format 
with JSON formatting, e.g.:

log_format main escape=json '{ "body": "$request_body" }';

If you want nginx to do not escape anything in your logs, you can 
use "escape=none".  Note though that without escaping you 
completely depend on data the variable contain - in particular, in 
your case a malicious client will be able to supply arbitrary 
data, including multiple log entries or broken records.

How can I remove backslash when log format use escape=json

[kimown]

Hi, I want to log my entire request_body, but access.log contains some
strange backslash, how can I remove these backslash before doube quote?

Here is my nginx.conf,
```
log_format  main escape=json '$request_body';

 access_log  logs/access.log  main;
``` 

This is my request code:
```
fetch('http://localhost:8080/njs',{
method:'POST',
body:JSON.stringify({
text:'message with backslash'
})
}).then(res=>res.json()).then((res)=>{
console.info(res)
})
```

And access.log 
```
{\"text\":\"message with backslash\"}
```

But I think it should be 
```
{"text":"message with backslash"}
```
