title: Parsing Double Quotes within JSON
body: <p>I'm trying to parse some JSON I'm receiving from a third-party API. The problem is that some of the JSON has quotes inside quotes, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var json = '{"sentence": "My favorite sport is "dodgeball"." }';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm pretty sure the browser is interpreting the quote as</p>
  
  <pre><code>"My favorite sport is"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then hitting an syntax error on the following characters. How do I avoid this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I posted a simplified version of the problem, but here is the actual snippet of code that is giving me trouble (the problem is "<em>Cool Vendor</em>" wrapped in quotes):</p>
