Answer 1

Using Kotlin

For Retrofit 2 you can initialize retrofit with a Gson converter factory.

val builder = GsonBuilder().disableHtmlEscaping().create()
val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(baseUrl)
        .addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(builder))
        .client(monoOkHttpClient())
        .build()

This builder should remove escaping from your json output.

Gradle file dependencies:

implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.1.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.3.0'
