[LTP] [PATCH v3 1/1] docparse: Escape backslash, tab and double quote in JSON

Hi Cyril,

Actually, space 20 is hex, it should be 0x20 or 32.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259#page-9
unescaped = %x20-21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-10FFFF

BTW preparing v4, it should definitely go to the release (or we need to fix
formatting of c39b29f0a ("bpf: Check truncation on 32bit div/mod by zero")).

Kind regards,
Petr
