What is @babel/plugin-proposal-json-strings?
The @babel/plugin-proposal-json-strings package is a plugin for Babel that allows you to use the JSON strings proposal in your JavaScript code. This proposal makes it possible to write escape sequences for line separators (\u2028) and paragraph separators (\u2029) within string literals, which are otherwise not allowed in JSON. This can be useful when dealing with JSON data that may include these characters.
