Question

In a Scala controller, I can simply render a response (for dev pursposes) using the magical """:

Ok("""{"key":"value"}"""} 

In a Java controller, this obviously doesn’t work. Is there a quick way to render a JSON string as a response? (that is too long to escape manually without hitting my head against a wall)

I don’t want to do:

ok("{\"key\":\"value\"}");

No. """ it’s feature from Scala and Groovy programming languages. In Java no analogue.
You can try

ok("{'key':'value'}");  

but it does not always work
