What I have tried:

string s = @"{[]}";
var result = s;

var data = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result);
string[] tokens = data.Split(',');

userRole = userRole.Replace("\"", "");

Thanks Richard, I was seeing this in VS debug and didn't register it was VS doing it.
The thing that threw me was testing my REST service results using Chrome RESTLet client extension was showing responses from my service with the \ as well.
Tried YARC extension and that result did not include the \
strange!

Also you can get that if you try to encode a string of JSON into JSON a second time.

Solution 5

line.Replace(@"\", string.Empty);

or

line.Replace(@"\", "");

Adds nothing new to the previously posted solutions. Besides - this won't work as there is no backslash in the string. See the accepted solution

Solution 6

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(error);
return Request.CreateResponse(status, JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json));

An unexplained code snippet isn't really an answer. Also, the backslash characters are not really in the JSON file.

Solution 7

if you use

JsonConvert.SerializeObject

in your code it will add backslash by default, and you can remove it by playing it with string.

But, its better to create a class file and return it directly.

Strictly, in case of webapi

The answer is simple: there is no backslash in the string!

What you're seeing is the Visual Studio debugger's representation of the string. Since you're using C#, it displays the string with the escape characters you would need to include to type that value as a string literal in your C# code. But those escape characters are not actually part of the string.

If you use the immediate window, type: ?data,nq and you should see the contents of the string without the escape characters.
