Answer 1

try

  JSONObject jsonObj=new JSONObject(objMngr.getResponse().toString().replace("\\", " "));

Your jsonString seems allright. However your response type may not be string. Try it. The problem is with already escaped inverted commas sent by the server.

Answer 2

首先将您的响应转换为字符串，然后尝试创建JSONObject

Answer 3

我认为getResponse（）已经是字符串，但是响应不是有效的JSON。如果响应不是字符串，则可以使用toString（）方法转换字符串。

Answer 4

It seem there are some hidden characters on your string. Try this

return new JSONObject(json.substring(json.indexOf("{"), json.lastIndexOf("}") + 1));

Answer 5

Seems like you have dumped object to JSON string twice on server-side.

object --dumps()--> json string --dumps()-> one string in json

So you should remove the second dumping.

Otherwise you can unescape your string this way How to unescape a Java string literal in Java? .

The first way is better and easier i think.
