Invalid Reverse Solidus '\' declaration when going from JSON to C#...

[natiki]

Hi,

I wanted to convert the JSON from https://datahub.io/core/top-level-domain-names to some C# code.

However I got the above error when pasting the JSON into https://app.quicktype.io/. It appears that Unicode data is not parsed?

you have to remove all the forward slash from the code then only it will work "/" this symbol

But JSON with information like Google's polyline will have those characters. How can we neglect that?

Consider running this regular expression as a data-cleanup step \\u[0-9a-z]{4} before handing it over to quicktype.

Lots of JSON APIs have this characteristic. Bitbucket's API is another one. This should probably be adjusted on the Quicktype side.

Edit: Unicode zero-width space ( \u200c ) causes this error message, too.

Here's a big JSON blob that'll trigger this error multiple times:

+1, getting this in 2021 as well. I think this could be an easy fix from the Quicktype side instead of us cleaning up the JSON beforehand.

As a workaround, I'm using this website https://jsonformatter.org/ to clean up these Invalid Reverse Solidus

+1. Still not working with escaped unicode chars. Also what's with that error message, I did not even heard the word solidus before today.

+1. 4 months later, this is a really inconvenient issues.
