Why do I get the "\" everywhere ?

Method I Use:

@RequestMapping(value = '/showFromMongo', method = RequestMethod.GET)
    def showFromMongoDB() {
        //println 'testit'
        def obj = repository.findByLastName("Vinodh");

        ObjectMapper myObjectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        myObjectMapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
        def temp = []
        obj.collect{
            temp <<  myObjectMapper.writeValueAsString(it)
            }
        temp
    }

OutPut I get:

[  
   "{\"id\":\"54fe7bbfd416859826ae53ea\",\"firstName\":\"Priya\",\"lastName\":\"Vinodh\"}",
   "{\"id\":\"54fe7be8d416f74f961678fa\",\"firstName\":\"Mrithula\",\"lastName\":\"Vinodh\"}"
]

What should be done to eliminate the "\".

@Vikrant, if it's a good question, upvote it. – Opal Mar 13 '15 at 06:00
How are you viewing the output? – tim_yates Mar 13 '15 at 08:32
As an aside, this is a *rest-like* architecture; not RESTful. – christopher Mar 13 '15 at 15:49
you return an array of strings. the `\"` there get quoted. and when using `collect` there is no need for the `temp` var. – cfrick Mar 13 '15 at 15:54
