How to remove "t" from a json file using sed command in Linux?

I am having json file containing multiple "t" in it, I want to remove these characters from json file as when I am trying to convert this json file into CSV, because of these characters my CSV output disturbing.

I have tried multiple times with trial and error methods.

sed -i 's/t//g' input.json

Then I tried;

sed -i 's/^t//g' input.json

And then;

sed -i 's~t~~g' input.json

But unable to remove this "t" character from input.json file.

    Backslash is special in sed regular expressions. To match it literally, you need to escape it by preceding it by another backslash.

    echo 'atb' | sed 's/\t//g'

    To remove the backslash and "t" from a file, you can use the sed command in Linux:

    sed 's/\t//g' input.json

    Maybe, it’s better to use a JSON parser like jq to modify JSON files instead of using sed:

    jq 'gsub("\t";"")' input.json

    Note: You can use the -i option in both commands to edit the file in place.
