Hi all,

I've been running some tests with retrieving string data (of data type Text (single line)) as JSON objects. I noticed that literal backslashes are not escaped, therefore resulting in an invalid JSON object.

For example:

Database value: "test with literal backslash \"

JSON result: "test with literal backslash \"

Correct JSON would be: "test with literal backslash \\" or

"test with literal backslash \​​"​

I tried: "name":"{{myvalue | replace:'\', '\\' }}" 

JSON result of replace pipe is : "test with literal backslash \"

Please note that when a text field contains the literal text "\n" or "\t", this will be translated to newline and tab in JSON .

How can I make sure that literal backslashes in text fields are escaped or encoded when retrieving the data as JSON object?
