escapejs Filter

Escapes characters used in JavaScript strings. Use json_script instead.

Do not use this filter. It is not safe.

See Adam Johnson’s Safely Including Data for JavaScript in a Django Template for a detailed explanation of how to safely include dynamic data for JavaScript processing.

Did we get something wrong? Is there a use case for the escapejs filter that we should add? Please let us know.
