I've been experimenting with the xml-to-json function, but for some reason my output is escaped. Why is that?

Stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
B B B B xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" version="3.0">
B B B B <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" method="json"/>
B B B B <xsl:template match="/">
B B B B B B B B <xsl:variable name="transformed">
B B B B B B B B B B B B <xsl:apply-templates select="programs"/>
B B B B B B B B </xsl:variable>
B B B B B B B B <xsl:value-of select="xml-to-json($transformed, map{'indent': true()})"/>

The function returns a string you can output as such with the xsl:output method="text", you have used "json" instead which then applies JSON escaping rules on the string you have.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf"
    exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
	version="3.0">

  <xsl:function name="mf:apply-templates" as="item()*">
      <xsl:param name="input" as="item()*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$input"/>
  </xsl:function>

  <xsl:template match="programs">
      <xsl:sequence select="array { mf:apply-templates(*) }"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="program">
      <xsl:sequence select="map { 'title' : string(@title) }"/>
  </xsl:template>
