I want to deserialize a JSON string that has double quoted string as mentioned below.

Json:

string jsonString = "{\"Name\": 2, \"Description\": \"The \"test\" description\"}";

Target Class:

public class TestClass
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

Deserialization Code:

string jsonString = "{\"Name\": 2, \"Description\": \"The \"test\" description\"}";
var jData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TestClass>(jsonString);

I am not able to escape the double quotes and having the following error.

That is invalid JSON. – Nkosi Oct 15 '18 at 13:14
The string is fetched from request parameter where user can enter text with double quotes. – Anadi Oct 15 '18 at 14:03
granted, but it is returning malformed invalid JSON – Nkosi Oct 15 '18 at 14:03
Are you in control of where the string is fetched from? Because that is where the problem originates. It needs to properly escape those characters. – Nkosi Oct 15 '18 at 14:05
Yes. Data is entered in Text box and I am using 'FormCollection' to access the data. – Anadi Oct 15 '18 at 14:46
