Backslash character not rendered as \\ when escapeControlCharacters:true

[josdejong]

Example document:

{
  "backslash": "\\",
  "return": "1\n2",
  "tab": "a\tb"
}

When escapeControlCharacters:true, the backslash should be rendered as \\ in tree mode, but it is rendered as \

Also, an escaped slash is not rendered correctly:

{ 
  "escapedSlash": "\/\/"
} 

This is rendered as // instead of \/\/.

The issue with escaped backslashes \\ (reverse solidus) is solved.

The issue with forward slashes \/ (solidus) not. The difficulty is that escaping of this character is optional, and that in JavaScript there is no difference between the two: '\/' === '/'. As soon as you parse the JSON, the \/ character is turned into / and this information is lost. This can't be fixed with the built-in JSON parser.
