Should be

var url = "data\\14/loto/posts.json" // "\\" is because slash should be escaped, otherwise your url isn't a valid string
url = url.replace(/\\/g, '/');

In JS, you need to escape backslashes, because they are normally escape characters themselves.

url.replace('\\', '/');

Additionally, if you want to escape multiple backslashes in the same string, use a regex literal with the g flag, "g" standing for "global".

url.replace(/\\/g, '/');
