I'm not sure it's possible or desirable to reuse yaml::escape as they are two 
formats and it's expected that a yaml output might not be able to be read by a 
json parser. If I look at the yaml::escape routine, there are several escape 
that are incompatible with JSON like \0, \v, \e, and 32-bit handling via \U.
I think ideally this patch would be a stop-gap solution until jsoncpp is 
introduced so that one can build json output in a structured way (as opposed to 
manually appending strings now) and the output will also be escape via the 
library.
