Double quotes issue with parse json

Question

We have an issue in passing JSON , the value contains double quotes and we are getting error

"searchResultsDetails":[
{
"compannyName":""schiing" Immobien & Co Lingasse KG",
"testId":77472,
}
]

You can see that the compannyName contains double quotes in the value.

var data= $.parseJSON(modelAttr);

modelattr is the above JSON string,

when I try this jquery method, I am getting parsing error, how we can parse double quotes and special characters, please help

Regards Hari

You have to escape them using \. Like this `"compannyName":"\"schiing\" Immobien & Co Lingasse KG"`. — Sascha Wolf, Feb 25 '14 at 07:44

You have to ensure that the values in the JSON are properly escaped. Since I don't know where you get your values from (hardcoded, db, etc.) I can't answer that for you. — Sascha Wolf, Feb 25 '14 at 07:55
The values are getting from JAVA server layer using jackson parsor — user2907217, Feb 25 '14 at 08:05
Just look how SO color your JSON `schiing` is not a string so it's invalid JSON. — jcubic, Feb 25 '14 at 08:20

To write special characters in a string you have to escape them, using the backslash character \.

So your example would look like this:

"compannyName":"\"schiing\" Immobien & Co Lingasse KG"
