How to escape special characters in building a JSON string?

Question

Here is my string

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


        

Answer 1

regarding AlexB's post:

 \'  Apostrophe or single quote
 \"  Double quote

escaping single quotes is only valid in single quoted json strings
escaping double quotes is only valid in double quoted json strings

example:

'Bart\'s car'       -> valid
'Bart says \"Hi\"'  -> invalid
