Hi All,

I faced the issue about json serialization, i used this below code

str jsRead;

List resultSet = new List(Types::Class);

ResponseContract responseContract = new ResponseContract();
responseContract.parmRetTicketId("Test");
responseContract.parmRetStatus("Success");
responseContract.parmRetMessage("Test");
resultSet.addEnd(responseContract);

jsRead = FormJsonSerializer::serializeClass(resultSet);
return jsRead;

and i got the return like this

[{\"RetMessage\":\"Test\",\"RetStatus\":\"Success\",\"RetTicketId\":\"Test\"}]

How could it show this \ in the json string?

Regards,

Masha

I suspect you're talking about the visualization in Visual Studio debugger and not the actual content of jsRead variable.

The backslashes escape quotation marks, so you can copy the string and place it inside other quotations marks (as a string literal).

Hi Masha,

As Martin said, the backslashes are shown in the debugger watches and it is only for escaping the qutations.

For example:

This is the printed json string

But in the debugger it looks like this

"{\"_worker\":\"090344\",\"_dayDateFrom\":\"2020-06-07T00:00:00\",\"_dayDateTo\":\"2020-06-13T00:00:00\"}"

Regards,

M

HI Masha,

Combine the points mentioned above.

If you want to write your own Json string manually (it is better to use JSON serializer instead of manual), then you need to add a backslash to the string.

For example, use jsonStr = "{\"name1\":\"%1\",\"name2\":\"%2\"}"; instead of jsonStr ={"name1":"%1"," name2":"%2"};

It's true only in one case, not generally. Try using single quotation marks around the string literal, instead of double quotation marks - it doesn't require escaping and therefore it's easier to read:

jsonStr = '{"name1":"%1"," name2":"%2"}';

Working with JSON in Dynamics can get tricky, especially when special characters aren’t properly escaped. In cases like this, I usually rely on online utilities to speed things up. This Escape JSON tool can quickly convert problematic characters into escaped JSON format, and the matching Unescape JSON tool makes it easy to revert them back for readability and debugging. Using these kinds of tools has saved me time when troubleshooting integrations and data transformations.
