How to disable HTML escaping?

[mattjohnsonpint]

It seems that gjson.AppendJsonString always escapes HTML characters.

gjson/gjson.go

Lines 1943 to 1945 in c2bc5a4

	} else if s[i] == '>' || s[i] == '<' || s[i] == '&' {
	dst = append(dst, '\\', 'u')
	dst = appendHex16(dst, uint16(s[i]))

Can we get an option to disable that for non-HTML scenarios?

There is precedent with other encoders:

• encoding/json has Encoder.SetEscapeHTML(false)

• Java's gjson has disableHtmlEscaping()

Thanks.

Version 1.17.3 adds the gjson.DisableEscapeHTML flag will allow for disabling HTML escaping.
