I am trying to build json string from my java object. This object contains string with '&' and '='. Now after calling gson.toJson my string changes from those charecters to \u003d and \u0026.

Example: 

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyObj myObj = new MyObj();
    myObj.setUrl("www.koko.com?k=1&v=2");
    Gson g = new Gson();
    System.out.println(g.toJson(myObj));

}

public static class MyObj{
    private String url;

    public String getUrl() {
        return url;
    }

    public void setUrl(String url) {
        this.url = url;
    }
}

OUTPUT:

{"url":"www.koko.com?k\u003d1\u0026v\u003d2"}

Expecting: 

{"url":"www.koko.com?k=1&v=2"}

Any suggestions how to avoid this behavior ?

Thanks

You need to disable HTML escaping.

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().disableHtmlEscaping().create();
