backslash in json

[bearxc]

I need contain single backslash in json info ,

JSONObject sample = new JSONObject();
sample.put("key","\\/abc");

response = given()
            .body(sample.toString())
            .when().post(postUrl);

I checked request body , it still sends out double backslash.

is it possible to just send single backslash ?

Hmm try sending the data as a map instead:

var hashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
hashMap.put("key", "\\/abc");
