If you need to refer to a key with ~ or / in its name, you must escape the characters with ~0 and ~1 respectively. For example, to get "baz" from { "foo/bar~": "baz" } you’d use the pointer /foo~1bar~0.

I guess they're using ~ for escaping since backslash is already escaping text content, not that you'd see it very often in keys.

Having magic values instead of using ~~ and ~/ feels ugly.
