SAP PO added "\" to payload after convert to JSON

[former_member695548]

Hi Expert,

I have trouble when using REST receiver. After SAP PO convert my XML to JSON there is a backward slash added to my payload. For example my XML payload: ABC/12/H. After SAP PO convert to Json the payload become: ABC\/12\/H. Please, any suggestion to remove the bacward slash ?

I know there is some threat with the same issue, but no clear guidance to solve it. I use SAP PO 7.5

Hi Candara,

this is (unfortunately) the standard behaviour of the REST adapter. (Btw. the JSON standard says that escaping of / by \ is valid but optional. So at least it isn't wrong - just unwanted...)

To solve your problem you have two options:

1. Add a Java-Mapping to do the JSON conversion
2. Use Eng Swee's JSON converter bean to do the XML/JSON conversion: https://blogs.sap.com/2015/03/18/jsontransformbean-part-2-converting-xml-to-json-content/

By only using the REST adapter's conversion feature you won't be able to solve your request.
