Question

I faced with the problem while creating new user test account through API, that the email format in the response is not correct.

here is my response:

{
“id”: “xxxx”,
“access_token”: “xxxx”,
“login_url”: “xxxx”,
“email”: “qapuvvl_schrockstein_1354772402\u0040tfbnw.net”,
“password”: “xxxx”
}

so it changes “@” sign to backslash.

any suggestion why it happens?

Thanks.
Aleksey.

Answer 1

The email id for the test users on facebook is of the domain tfbnw.net so it is not changing “@” to backslash but the JSON returned contains the Unicode form of “@” symbol.

You can change it back while you are deserializing the JSON array.
