While sending the JSON POST request:



{
"name":"c.3"
}


I get a response that completely ignores the ''. Is this have something to do with how JSON handles that character?



{
"name": "c.3",
"registered": false
}

  • Can you clarify a bit? Are you saying that the return value is actually \a.1 and your parser is changing it to a.1 or vice-versa? is an escape character to denote that the slash is intended. It sounds like the parsing is escaping the slash for you into one if that's the case.

  • Yes, logic will force any characters other than a-z to return an error. This is the only condition that does not validate.

  • Judging from the website mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascript-escapes, a is equivilent to a. Not sure if that website has accurate information, however. If so, looks like things are behaving as expected.

is the escape character in JSON, so basically the string sent in the form "a.1" is exactly the same as "a.1". If the former is intended, "\a.1" is the actual string that represents a.1.
