Question

I am reading JSON code from the database and then parsing the string using json parsers available for java. But I am getting JSONexception. Even if I try to parse this string on an online parser http://json.parser.online.fr/ there also the strings are taken as errors. Is there a way out to get rid of these errors or in other words how can I take care of such special symbols. The value of match is a regular expression.

Here is subpart of the sample string I am trying to parse as a json object.

 {"RULE":[{"replace":{"value":"","type":"text"},"match":{"value":"<a [^>]*><img   src="[^"]*WindowsLiveWriter/IconsfordifferentSocialBookmarkingSites[^>]*>\s*</a>","type":"text"}},{"replace":{"value":"","type":"text"},"match":{"value":"<a [^>]*><img src="[^"]*WindowsLiveWriter/IconsfordifferentSocialBookmarkingSites[^>]*>\s*</a>","type":"text"}}]}

Answer 1

{"RULE":[{"replace":{"value":"","type":"text"},"match":{"value":"<a [^>]*><img src=\"[^\"]*WindowsLiveWriter/IconsfordifferentSocialBookmarkingSites[^>]*>\\s*</a>","type":"text"}},{"replace":{"value":"","type":"text"},"match":{"value":"<a [^>]*><img src=\"[^\"]*WindowsLiveWriter/IconsfordifferentSocialBookmarkingSites[^>]*>\\s*</a>","type":"text"}}]}
