In my Xamarin.Android project, I'm using NewtonSoft Serialization to serialize my Object into JSON string. But when I do this my string has escape characters like this:

{\"id\":\"45912345\",\"number\":\"c6474a2345\"}

But I want like this:

{"id":"45912345","number":"c6474a2345"}

I tried to replace the \ character by:

var data = "{\"id\":\"45912345\",\"number\":\"c6474a2345\"}";
data = data.Replace(@"\","");

but nothing happens. As this is an escape character, this is not printed on console, but I need to send this as form data to my Rest API.

How do I get a valid JSON string?

Have you tried to actually sending the data with your rest API without escaping the characters, if so what error are you getting when you do? – ismael. Mar 14 '18 at 15:06
@ismael. Yes, I did, while I send the data with escape character, the API is not able to read the content. – pratiti-systematix Mar 15 '18 at 04:55
Could you please add log on your API server side to check what data has the server received? – Elvis Xia - MSFT Mar 15 '18 at 06:17
@pratiti-systematix What happens when you view it `JSON Visualizer`? – FaizanHussainRabbani Mar 15 '18 at 08:29
