Fix the server from escaping the quotes... Don't fix the Java code — OneCricketeer

Exactly, do not edit the response code, find a converter or a correct json reader. Or for the best practice, fix the code for webservice side. — Adnan Bal

The command

result.replaceAll("\\","");

is correct and if you try to display the server response with an online json formatter (https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/) you can clearly see that the string is not correctly formatted. The double quotes after the "response" and one at the end are not required.

I don't think that will work. What if the JSON data actually had a backslash in a string, for example?

I agree with you @cricket_007, but I was focused on the specific example RushDroid provided

It will not work most cases where the json itself contains a backslash as its value such as a web url. The url value then will be destroyed completely. Wrong answer is accepted. I posted the proper answer in below post. Alas the questioner does not know that what dangerous code he pushed into his project.

UPDATED: August 2019 Use google's Gson for parsing to Json by omitting backslash automatically:

JAVA CODE:

    JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
    JsonObject jsonObject = jsonParser.parse("your jsonString with backslash").getAsJsonObject();

KOTLIN CODE:

    val jsonParser = JsonParser()
    val jsonObject = jsonParser.parse("your jsonString with backslash").asJsonObject

An alternative to remove backslashes from JSON string.

s = Your String with Back Slash

For converting String to JSONObject:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(s);

For converting String to JSONArray:

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(s);

You can try this and it will work fine

String jsonStr4 = jsonStr3.replaceAll("\"", "");
