JS: Apostrophe Quoted String

By Xah Lee. Date: . Last updated: .

Apostrophe quoted string

String can be created by bracketing text with 'U+27: APOSTROPHE'.

Use \' to embed a APOSTROPHE.

// APOSTROPHE quoted string

console.log('my cat');
// my cat

console.log('john\'s cat');
// john's cat

Difference between apostrophe and quotation mark quoted string

There's basically no difference, except that if you need to embed a APOSTROPHE or QUOTATION MARK , you need to escape it.
