Bug: Escaped characters not working on create content

[Calemy]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to insert a documents that has escaped characters in it.
When trying to insert that document, it does not work.

It gives following error:
{
"code": 400,
"details": "Request problems detected",
"description": "There is a problem with your request. Refer to the documentation for further information.",
"information": "There was a problem with the database: Parse error on line 1 at character 20 when parsing 'CONTENT { name: "\tkotoko" }'"}

Steps to reproduce

start surrealdb
log into surrealdb-cli

create anything that has an escaped character in the content
example:

CREATE person:1 CONTENT { name: \tkotoko }

Expected behaviour

that it inserts the document with the escaped characters

SurrealDB version

surreal 1.0.0-beta.7 for windows on x86_64

I think this is the same issue as #90, which is supposed to be fixed in the upcoming release.

Hi @Calemy yes that's right. This is the same issue as #90, #137, #245, and #1202!

I do apologize for the duplicate since i've not been able to find it under the keywords i used myself but i'm glad that it already is a known issue and hopefully is fixed soon.

If i'm not mistaken the freezing in the nodejs library is already known as well? It makes my database's cpu usage skyrocket anytime something like that happens. Thank you regardless for your time! :)

@Calemy yes we expect that issue to be resolved with 1.0.0-beta.8 too!

awesome, i'm hyped and i wish you the best in the future. I'll try to contribute to the nodejs library since i plan to use this as my go-to database!
