How do I retain backslashes in strings when using JSON.stringify?

Question

So I got a string that has a backslash in it. \"kIurhgFBOzDW5il89\\/lB1ZQnmmY=\".

I tried adding an extra \'\\\', but JSON.stringify( \"kIurhgFBOzDW5i

JSON.stringify doesn't remove the backslash, it encodes it. When you use JSON.parse on the other end, or whatever you do to decode your JSON, it will return the original string.
