JSON.stringify() wraps the output within ` (Grave Accent mark)

[ASHIQUEMD]

Issue: if the object contains string data with single quoted value in it, e.g. "Test 'data'", JSON.stringify(results) returns result wrapped in ` (Grave Accent mark).

Actual result:

Expected result (without ` ): {"analyzer":"Test 'data'","details":{"range":{"start":"1","end":"2"},"description":"Hello"}}

Sample code:

function main() {
    const results = {
        analyzer: "Test 'data'",
        details: {
            range: {
                start: "1",
                end: "2"
            },
            description: "Hello"
        }
      };

    return JSON.stringify(results);
  }
  
 main();

You may want to request this feature on https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues instead. As the representation of strings in iJavaScript is based on the Node.js REPL.

It's defined by util.inspect. There are a few options to customise the output of util.inspect, but I don't see any options to achieve what you want (Node v22).

Unlike the REPL, iJavaScript lets you overwrite util.inspect. So, the following workaround may work for you:

const prevInspect = util.inspect;

util.inspect = function inspect(value, opts) {
    let r = prevInspect(value, opts);
    return (typeof value === "string" && r[0] === '`' && r[r.length - 1] === '`') ? r.slice(1, -1) : r;
}

main(); // output: {"analyzer":"Test 'data'","details":{"range":{"start":"1","end":"2"},"description":"Hello"}}
