- ...]
Wait, the last part:
Need to carefully produce proper JSON string representation. The raw string contains actual newlines, but we need to escape them.
Simplest approach: produce string with literal newlines but escaped as
.
Hence we need to convert each newline into
.
Also we must escape < and > properly? In JSON string, < > are allowed.
But we need to escape newlines: convert each newline to
. Also treat carriage return if any.
Let's rewrite all lines as string with
characters.
I'll craft final string precisely.
