How to escape JSON objects in webhook?

Hello, thanks for posting your inquiry here on the forum.

There are a few ways that you can escape special characters depending on your goals.

Normally this function escapes the values in the json object:

Normal escaping for string manipulations:

Outputs "Full Name"

echo "\"Full Name\"";

However, if you are going to use a string and insert it on a database, it is important that you use this instead:

Assuming $string contains a value with "Full name" with double quotes literally.

$string = mysqli_real_escape_string($string);

These are all in PHP script. If you are using a different server script, let us know so that we can assist you on escaping characters.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you

Try using the Java equivalent of the following PHP codes before passing the data to Gson:

function unescapeJSON($str){
                return str_replace("\\'","'" ,str_replace('\\"', '"', $str));
}

$newData = unescapeJSON($rawData);

The goal is to simply replace \\' and \\" with ' and " , respectively.
