How to escape special characters in building a JSON string?

Question

Here is my string

{
    \'user\': {
        \'name\': \'abc\',
        \'fx\': {
            \'message\': {
                \'color\': \'red\'
            }         


        

Answer 1

The answer the direct question:
To be safe, replace the required character with \u+4-digit-hex-value

Example: If you want to escape the apostrophe ' replace with \u0027
D'Amico becomes D\u0027Amico
