Sonar Issues/search API JSON result has single quotes

Question

I'm using the sonarQube 6.4 web api to get a list of issues

http://sonar-server:9000/api/issues/search?componentKeys=Project_key&sinceLeakPeriod=true&statuses=OPEN,REOPENED&types=BUG

This gives me a Json object which has single quotes,

..."message":"Make this function anonymous by removing its name: 'function() {...}'."...

Because of that highlighted content in the JSON I'm unable to process the JSON from Groovy.

Is the JSON returned by the sonar is valid ? if so, is there any way to process this kind of JSON in groovy. Let me know if the full JSON object is needed.

@G.Ann-SonarSourceTeam I cannot process the JSON in Groovy. refer link https://groovy-playground.appspot.com/ So the JSON returned isn't valid right ? — zeee, Jul 25 '17 at 11:56
The answer I linked to cites the specification which states that strings should be _double quoted_. There shouldn't be any need to escape single quotes. Just because you can't parse it in Groovy, doesn't mean it's wrong. — G. Ann - SonarSource Team, Jul 25 '17 at 12:17
@G.Ann-SonarSourceTeam My question is, is it a valid JSON string if it contains single quote, which is what the sonar API returns? — zeee, Jul 25 '17 at 12:46

According to http://json.org/ and https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ the JSON response is valid. Single quotes and brackets {} must not be escaped. The issue comes from your Groovy parser.
