The console reads the as new lines and outputs it the way it would look with the line breaks.

If you want to see the in console use JSON.stringify().

Example:

 

console.log('1
2');
console.log(JSON.stringify('1
2'));

why chrome console not show "\n" as string but console.log output as normal line break?
