JSON conversion

I'm working on a JSON text converter, and I've a little problem

I want to replace some " into \", but not the '' from the value.

example {"text":"test"}, this must be converted to: {\"text\":\"test\"}.

The problem is that if the value contains a ", this will also be converted (using .replace("\"","\\\"")
{"text":"test " test"} -> {\"text\":\"test \" test\"}.

What I want is that only the " from the JSON part are converted.

Thanks for your help

 

I don't think it's ideal if you write the JSON text yourself. If I recall correctly, gson is bundled inside Bukkit. You could do something like:

Code:

        JsonObject text = new JsonObject();
        text.addProperty("text", "test");
        // ...
        String jsonText = text.toString(); // Results in {"text":"test"}

 

What I have works just fine, but the only problem is that I need {\"text\":\"test\"}, with the back slash...

If there is not a simple solution I have to add the \ while I create the JSON.

 

@The_Spaceman you are what us developers call "reinventing the wheel". This is not good practice. All JSON converters contain string escape logic. Just use one.
