Does JavaScript support verbatim strings?

Template strings do support line breaks.

`so you can
do this if you want`

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

It does not of course prevent expansion from occurring the in the text, and by extension, code execution but maybe that’s a good thing?

Note: I don’t think there’s a way to take an existing string and run it through expression interpolation. This makes it impossible to inject code this way since the code has to originate in the source. I don’t know of an API that can do expression interpolation on-demand.

Note 2: Template strings are a ES2015 / ES6 feature. Support in every browser except (wait for it…) IE! However, Edge does support template strings.

Note 3: Template strings expand escape sequences, if you have a string inside a string that string will expand its escape sequences.

`"A\nB"`

…will result in:

"A
B"

…which will not work with JSON.parse because there’s now a new-line in the string literal. Might be good to know.
