title: How to code long JSON value strings as multiline?
body: <p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> I am not asking about <em>rendering</em> strings as multiline.</p>
  
  <p>I am talking about splitting a long string in a JSON into multiple lines <em>in my source code</em> when this string should logically be on a single line.</p>
  
  <p>In short: I want source line breaking rules similar to HTML.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "id": 550,
      "text": "this is long text "
              "very-very-very long text "
              "longer than you can imagine."
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This text should be rendered as:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>this is long text very-very-very long text longer than you can imagine.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The JSON is being referenced in JavaScript.</p>
  
  <p>This is not a duplicate of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2392766/multiline-strings-in-json">Multiline strings in JSON</a> because this question strongly refers to JavaScript and that question has no clear accepted answer.</p>
