It *should* have a JSON body, but in this particular case I can't be sure that it will, as I'm trying to log requests when there are errors, which are quite often errors in the request. So although in some cases it is decoded later in the handler chain, I need to be able to log the string in a human readable form before any possible decoding.
If it's unescaped as part of json.Unmarshal(), is there an exposed function in the encoding/json package which only unescapes a string? I've tried looking, but I can't find anything that I can call directly.
