How to prevent wcf from adding escape characters to response?

Question

I use WCF as server and android app as client. I have problem in parsing response in android if response contain escape characters, for example the user enters his name "mohammed \\ main center // 77132131 " the value in database. The name of user in database as entered contain backslash and for-slash. WCF Create this response:

"[{\"name\":\" mohammed \/\/ main center \\\\\\\\ 77132131 \"}]"

I tried this in WCF server but the problem still in code

string str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);

I tried replace all backslash in android but I did not getting the same value in database.

If you add a string like you said it should look like this:

"[{\"name\":\"mohammed \\\\ main center // 77132131 \"}]"

I created a WCF service for testing, if you use the proxy class to call the service, you will get the following string:

[{"name":"mohammed \\ main center // 77132131 "}]

The following code is the implementation class of the server:

 public class Calculator : ICalculator
    {
        public string Test(string test)
        {
            return "[{\"name\":\"mohammed \\\\ main center // 77132131 \"}]";
        }
    }
