With "escape=json", nginx will escape variables to be usable in
JSON structures, so you will be able to use them in log format
with JSON formatting, e.g.:

log_format main escape=json '{ "body": "$request_body" }';

If you want nginx to do not escape anything in your logs, you can
use "escape=none". Note though that without escaping you
completely depend on data the variable contain - in particular, in
your case a malicious client will be able to supply arbitrary
data, including multiple log entries or broken records.
