Seems right, all the json documents I have read say, more or less "A
string is a sequence of Unicode code points wrapped with quotation
marks (U+0022). All characters may be placed within the quotation
marks except for the characters that must be escaped: quotation mark
(U+0022), reverse solidus (U+005C), and the control characters U+0000
to U+001F." ( Copied from
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf,
which may not be the correct one but seems right for me ).

In fact, noneof the software I presently use to read or generate json
does accept OR PRODUCE unescaped 0x0A. Are you generating the json
manually?
