Tomtom webfleet message api returning message status flags with message text

Question

I am retrieving device messages from TomTom telematics weblfeet api, using showMessages action. I am getting json response as follows.

{
    "msgid": 102001623621,
    "msg_time": "22/08/2018 12:24:08",
    "msg_flag": "R",
    "msg_category": 1,
    "msg_text": "Message \"Hello Tomtoim!!!\" read",
    "msg_refid": 101930037863,
    "msg_reftype": 2,
    "objectno": "TEST",
    "pos_time": "22/08/2018 12:24:04",
    "pos_text": "",
    "objectuid": "1-44061-6662F76F14"
}

Can anyone tell me why instead of just Message as "Hello Tomtoim!!! i am getting "Message \"Hello Tomtoim!!!\" read" ? Please help me out.

Because the quotation marks have to be escaped. You can read about JSON format at rfc4627
