have double quotes in string, gson won't escape it.

[stalker]

Hi guys gson is not escaping double quotes in string. Anybody have any
solution ?

Demo program

/******************/
public class Demo{
public static void main(String args[]){
String test = "Hey there. I am \"here\"";
JsonObject jsonObject = JsonParser.parse(new Gson().toJson(test));
System.out.println("JSON is " + jsonObject.toString());
}
}


GSON is not escaping the double quote inside string...

Please help..

That's bug 107. See

Yes. JsonObject.toString() is not meant to output valid JSON. You
should instead use Gson.toJson()

I've tried to use Gson.toJson(<passed string>). Still I'm getting
wrong output.
can you provide me a valid example ?

Thanks and Regards,

See the method testEscapingQuotesInStringSerialization() in
http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/source/browse/trunk/gson/src/test/java/com/google/gson/functional/StringTest.java
for an example on how this is done.

That file also contains many other escaping samples that might be of
interest to you.
