javascript JSON.parse can't parse \t from PHP json_encode

This is my array to be encoded in PHP:

array (size=1)
  0 => 
    object(stdClass)[70]
      public 'company' => string 'Mc.SUP s. r. o.' (length=15)
      public 'fullname' => string '     Jaroslav Antoň' (length=17)
      public 'id' => string '1956' (length=4)
      public 'editable' => string '1' (length=1)

The string result is:

'[{"company":"Mc.SUP s. r. o.","fullname":" \tJaroslav Anto\u0148","id":"1956","editable":"1"}]'

When trying to use Javascript JSON.parse I got this error message: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: bad control character in string literal at line 1 column 56 of the JSON data

I investigated it and the problematic is \t.

Does somebody know the easy way how to extra escape it? Something like options in json_encode function. Thanks in advance

The \t is an escaped tab character do you really need that character for the fullname field? You should maybe remove the tab character before doing json_encode as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17176793/2030937
