            Bug ID: 285177
           Summary: libxo does not quote tabs in JSON strings.
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: standards
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

The JSON specification is clear that ASCII control characters must be quoted
inside JSON strings, but libxo(3) doesn't quotes which creates real world
problems e.g. when trying to process `jls --libxo=json,pretty` with jq which
refuses to parse the invalid JSON (like) output from libxo.

A similar previous bug[1] has been reported and closed on libxo's upstream bug
tracker, but the bug is present in FreeBSD 14.2-p2.
