Golang encoding/json.HTMLEscape() function example

package encoding/json

HTMLEscape appends to dst(1st parameter) the JSON-encoded src(2nd parameter) with <,>, &, U+2028 and U+2029 characters inside string literals changed to \u003c, \u003e, \u0026, \u2028, \u2029 so that the JSON will be safe to embed inside HTML <script> tags. For historical reasons, web browsers don't honor standard HTML escaping within <script> tags, so an alternative JSON encoding must be used.
