I'm going to assume that JS is probably the most used language 
for JSON, since it originated from it, so a small demonstration 
will show you that even JS defaults to not escaping slashes:

```
let o = { a: "/path/to/something" };
console.log(JSON.stringify(o));
```

Output:

```
{"a":"/path/to/something"}
```
