Use greek with JSON

Question

This is a JSON I'm writing and use it with JQuery.

bookData.webSites = [
    {
        id: 1,
        title: "ΤΟΥΡΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΑΝΑΠΤΥΞΗ",
        image: 'images/books/min.png',
        site: 'http://delicious.com/',
        author: "",
        pages: '',
        isbn: '',
        price: '',
        type: 'book'
    }];

It works perfect until I'm trying to use a long Greek text with it, then It goes really wrong. I had some problems with the author tag but it all went well when I used "" instead of ''. In a long Greek text we use " and ' while writing and I apparently want to use greek for the description. Any way for that to became posible.

Thanks beforehand for everyones help from this AWESOME community!

Try placing an escape character ('\') before each instance of " or '.

JavaScript JSON libraries should handle this for you. Example - http://www.json.org/js.html: see JSON.stringify.
