How to verify signature used with EdDsa(ed25519)?

Actually message is json encoded message like

"{\"data\":{\"event_type\":\"message.received\",\"id\":\"d5d76320-6c58-44ed-ad17-4cbe79dbc5c4\",\"occurred_at\":\"2022-10-18T23:58:07.235+00:00\",\"payload\":{\"cc\":[],\"completed_at\":null,\"cost\":null}"

that is including \ escape character.
I wonder if this json encoded message is different from raw json message(without backslach) when I verify it.

But in this thread, other says it doesn’t matter.
