Usually you want to quote the characters in question, python example
that produces valid json for strings with embedded newline/carriage
returns:

>>> import json
>>> d = dict (a = 'text\nwith newline\r\nand carriage-return newline')
>>> json.dumps(d)
'{"a": "text\\nwith newline\\r\\nand carriage-return newline"}'
>>> print (json.dumps(d))
{"a": "text\nwith newline\r\nand carriage-return newline"}

It should be possible to use this.

Note that if you have binary contents that you want to attach (e.g. as
contents of a file in roundup) you cannot do this in JSON because JSON
can only encode valid UTF-8. In that case you can still create the
object but you would not use json encoding but a different mechanism:

For howto on this see https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551067 in
particular https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/msg6747
