Try with something like this:

`var response = {'key': '\\n test\\n some test\\n new test'}; var newchar = '\\n'; var oldchar = '\n'; var replacedResponse = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response).split(',').join(newchar));`

I must be missing something here, but why do you feel the need to do this? `\\n` is what newlines look like in JSON, and `JSON.parse` should convert them into newlines in the resulting object properties. This shouldn’t be something you have to concern yourself with in application code.

@mhartington can you help me in this matter

i just want to add a filter to description key so that i can break it into paragraphs but this doesnt seem to be working

It works in browser but not in ionic app

```
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(text)); 

 .filter('nl2p', function () {
return function(text){
    text = String(text).trim();
    return (text.length > 0 ? '<p>' + text.replace(/[\r\n]+/g, '</p><p>') + '</p>' : null);
}
}) 

```

Thanks
