Standalone Wiremock Server not converting mime-type before recording and matching

[IB]

I noticed Wiremock standalone server is recording a request body as is (without removing any special characters) even if the Content-Type is stated as application/json.

Here's an example, my JSON request body has the following format,

```

{
  "transactionId": "testemeasss1",
  "transactionDate": "2023-01-12",
  "transactionType": "QUOTE",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "sourceSystemId": "ESTORE"
}

```

Wiremock is saving the mapping as,

```

"bodyPatterns" : [ {
      "equalToJson" : "{\"transactionId\":\"testemeasss1\",\"transactionDate\":\"2023-01-12\",\"transactionType\":\"QUOTE\",\"currency\":\"EUR\"}",
      "ignoreArrayOrder" : true,
      "ignoreExtraElements" : true
    } ]

```

The Axios library that I'm using for making the HTTP calls and escaping the double quotes (\"). Is there a way of recording the JSON body after removing the escapes before the double quotes?

Thanks
