Cancel escape-sequence on JavaScript

Question

We can work with escape sequence in strings on JavaScript. For example, I can write \\ and it means \. But I don't want to use a escape sequence.

I know that on C# I can write @"My string" and I don't need to escape anything. Is there similar syntax in JavaScript?

Answer 1

No, there's not. However, there are RegExp literals:

/foo\s+bar/

Answer 2

There is no such syntax, but there is a work around:

var string = (<r><![CDATA[

    Now you can put a whole lot of stuff here.
    Including new lines, and all sorts of symbols: \ " '

 ]]></r>).toString();

Because it's so verbose it's only worth using this when you have something that would be otherwise unreadable (eg: a pretty long string with a bunch of characters that need escaping).
