I am getting data from database using c#

subscriptionDetailInfo.SubscriptionDescription = item.SubscriptionDescription

output will be json as below

"SubscriptionDescription":"Before you can. begin to determine what. the composition of. a particular",

now i need to replace "." to new line.

My required output will be like this

"SubscriptionDescription":"Before you can
 begin to determine what
 the composition of
 a particular",

I try with following method but not working

 subscriptionDetailInfo.SubscriptionDescription = item.SubscriptionDescription.Replace(".", "/\n / g").Replace("/\n / g", "\\n")

output of the result as below

"SubscriptionDescription":"Before you can\\n begin to determine what\\n the composition of\\n a particular",

The result is correct. What you expect doesn't make sense. JSON is not a format for visualization. – hyankov Mar 02 '17 at 11:51
If there is any way available to achieve this.... @HristoYankov – Gurunathan Natarajan Mar 02 '17 at 11:53
Are you viewing this in debugger? The debugger will show "\\n" as it escapes characters automatically, if you output your result to a file it would show as "\n". – Equalsk Mar 02 '17 at 11:54
@Equalsk It return below result `SubscriptionDescription":"Before you can\\n\\r begin to determine what\\n\\r the composition of\\n\\r a particular` – Gurunathan Natarajan Mar 02 '17 at 11:55
@equalsk i am checking in browser and postman itself – Gurunathan Natarajan Mar 02 '17 at 11:56
It's showing you the escaped string, the same as the debugger. – Equalsk Mar 02 '17 at 11:58
Why do you care how it will show in the browsers? It is up to the consumer of that JSON to interpret the \n. A browsers is not the end consumer of a JSON format. – hyankov Mar 02 '17 at 11:58

@HristoYankov consumer receive that value in angular as string so he unable to do anything. he need to show that point one by one based on "." – Gurunathan Natarajan Mar 02 '17 at 12:00
@HristoYankov your link i already checked not working – Gurunathan Natarajan Mar 02 '17 at 12:02
The consumer could split on '\n' instead of '.' – hyankov Mar 02 '17 at 12:13
