JSON object adding extra back slash

Question

What i am doing currently creating json object and passing to volley for service call, its placing back slash in jsonObject in key value result is getting 404. following is my code and creating jsonObject.

 JSONObject params = new JSONObject();
 params.put("user_name", "syedshah11@gmail.com");
 params.put("password", "6e7a0497daffa4554cc28973bc129632");
 params.put("key", "ly9jCDu03/1:3M1");

And as i debuged the josnObject adding extra \ (forward slash in my key json object thats why service break through as 404) following is json getting through debug.

{
  "password": "6e7a0497daffa4554cc28973bc129632",
  "user_name": "syedshah11@gmail.com",
  "key": "ly9jCDu03\/1:3M1"
}

So how to remove this \ extra forward slash as instead of this ly9jCDu03/1:3M1 its making ly9jCDu03\/1:3M1 any help could be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

FWIW, it's harmless. In JSON (as in JavaScript), within a string literal, `\/` means `/`. More: http://json.org/ The actual string represented does not have the backslash in it. — T.J. Crowder, Mar 01 '17 at 09:31
*"...forward slash in my key json object thats why service break through as 404..."* Then the service is broken, and that's what needs fixing. The JSON is entirely valid. — T.J. Crowder, Mar 01 '17 at 09:32
but i m getting 404 on reponse, while its working fine in postman, what the solution for this. @T.J.Crowder — Jhaman Das, Mar 01 '17 at 09:32
(BTW: You'll want to update the question to say what JSON library you're using, as there are several, probably at least two with `JSONObject`.) — T.J. Crowder, Mar 01 '17 at 09:34
Please, tell how and where you use this jsonobject or/and its values. Because there is something wrong in other part of you code, this json is correct. — maximelian1986, Mar 01 '17 at 09:35

Java is encoding your JSON string for sending to end point. Slash (/) is not an issue, if request not build with proper manners and there is any problem at Java end then you receive 500 Internal Server Error or volley error.

Be confident on your code and check service.

when json convert key value to string "ly9jCDu03/1:3M1" it adds extra '\' to represent the '/' as '/' is a special character and to represent that u need '\'

it is just like when u want to print '/n' in c++ u need to add extra '\'
