I am trying to insert additional strings into a JSON file but when I try to insert:
"{""activity_name"" : ""noname""}"

the resulting JSON looks like..

{\"activity_name\" : \"noname\"}

I want the end result to be valid JSON..ie

{"activity_name" : "noname"}

Should I escape the " in some other way for JSON?

Additionally when I try to insert a complete piece of parsed JSON into the JSON file all " marks are preceded by a \ in the final JSON.

eg:

-> JSON_MAIN: Insert JSON_ACTIVITY_MODEL.GetAsBeautifiedString("") into "profile_1.all_activities" at JSON_MAIN.ArraySize("profile_1.all_activities")

Thanks

In the end it seems I can only use JSON Set to insert data without the formatting. AFAIK.

This actually works out to be a neater way in the end anyway as I can use it to adds large chunks of data at once.
