JSON input string with double quotes

Question

I have the following JSON request which i need to parse and pull some data from the database, for the sake of the issue please assume that the double quotes within strings are allowed to mark inches how can I ignore the double quotes for string "test"er" and simply pass "tester" ?

{
  "searchtype":"search",
  "searchspec":{
    "source":"user",
    "searchstring":"test"er"
  }
}

Answer 1

Simply add a \\ before the double quote. Try this:

{"searchtype":"search","searchspec":{"source":"user","searchstring":"test\"er"}

Answer 2

You can try like this.

{
  "searchtype": "search",
  "searchspec": {
    "source": "user",
    "searchstring": "test\"er\""
  }
}
