Retrofit 2.0 addConverterFactory to replace &quot with " - json

Question

in my JSON string its contain &quot,
{"value":" "Testing""}
If did not perform any convertion or replace of string, the default retrofit's parser doesn't take care of the escape characters, and i will have " in my result, so I found code here that help me to remove the escape characters before the retrofit's parse process, here is the modification code
public class MyJsonConverter extends Converter.Factory {
public static MyJsonConverter create() {
return create(new Gson());
}
public static MyJsonConverter create(Gson gson) {
return new MyJsonConverter(gson);
}
private final Gson gson;
private MyJsonConverter(Gson gson) {
if (gson == null) throw new NullPointerException("gson == null");
this.gson = gson;
}
#Override
public Converter<ResponseBody, ?> responseBodyConverter(Type type, Annotation[] annotations,
Retrofit retrofit) {
TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type));
return new GsonResponseBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter);
}
#Override
public Converter<?, RequestBody> requestBodyConverter(Type type,
Annotation[] parameterAnnotations, Annotation[] methodAnnotations, Retrofit retrofit) {
TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type));
return new GsonRequestBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter);
}
final class GsonRequestBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<T, RequestBody> {
private final MediaType MEDIA_TYPE = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=UTF-8");
private final Charset UTF_8 = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
private final Gson gson;
private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter;
GsonRequestBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) {
this.gson = gson;
this.adapter = adapter;
}
#Override
public RequestBody convert(T value) throws IOException {
Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(buffer.outputStream(), UTF_8);
JsonWriter jsonWriter = gson.newJsonWriter(writer);
adapter.write(jsonWriter, value);
jsonWriter.close();
return RequestBody.create(MEDIA_TYPE, buffer.readByteString());
}
}
final class GsonResponseBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<ResponseBody, T> {
private final Gson gson;
private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter;
GsonResponseBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) {
this.gson = gson;
this.adapter = adapter;
}
#Override
public T convert(ResponseBody value) throws IOException {
String dirty = value.string();
String clean = dirty.replace("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n" +
"<string xmlns=\"http://tempuri.org/\">","").replace("</string>","");
clean = clean
.replace(""", "\"")\\This line!!!
.replace("\\/", "/") ;
try {
return adapter.fromJson(clean);
} finally {
value.close();
}
}
}
}
when I execute this code, it will fail later in retrofit parsing code and throw me this error
com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Unterminated object at
line 1 column 1121 path
$.entry_list[0].name_value_list.highlight1_c.value
I understand the meaning of this error, but what is the right way to do this? And I doesn't like to replace escape characters after the retrofit Parse the Json into POJO, because that will be a lot of messy replace everywhere. Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

I make a mistake on this line of code, it should escape it with a backslash: before ".
.replace(""", "\\\"")
