Javascript JSON parse unescape quotes?

Question

I have a user entered JSON data which is then saved to other object. But instead of JSON I get dtExport: '{\\"type\\":\\"polyline\\"}.

How can I fix it? Thanks.

Please post the problematic code. – Mike Samuel Jul 26 '15 at 19:01 — Mike Samuel, Jul 26 '15 at 19:01

var x = '{\"type\":\"polyline\"}'; x = x.replace(/\"/g, "\"");

and next JSON.parse

results:

"{"type":"polyline"}"

Doesn't work :( I have `var planJson = JSON.parse(message.text)` And then saving to DB: `db.merge('plans', planId, { "dtExport": JSON.stringify(planJson) })` But it's still the same. – fivepointseven Jul 26 '15 at 19:28
