Double slash in return value from controller-CodePudding

I have the following controller:

public IActionResult Get()
{
    var res = GetResult();
    // res is a JSON {"hello": "how\are\you"}
    return Ok(res);
}

I'm getting in the result:

{"hello": "how\\are\\you"}

How to remove the double slash from the reusult? Why they're being added?

Why they're being added?

Because that's how you print a backslash in JSON. \ is a special character. It pairs with the next character(s) to define what it prints. For example, \n means to add a new line, not printing "\n". \\ means a print a single backslash.

The server (your code) and the client using your application will understand this escape sequence just fine.

CodePudding user response：

You don't need to remove them since you have them in json already. If you want to get rid of them fix json of the action

var res = GetResult();
res.Replace("\\"," ");
 return Ok(res);
