Layer7 API Management

How do i escape following characters to have a valid json sent in the api response. I have some backend systems returning these characters in their response which i don't want to forward it to the gateway users.

Edit: response from backed is a soap response and i will have to escape only the values in the xml during xslt transformation

Hi Ganesh,

to escape special characters, you just need to use the backslash (or reverse solidus). For example, if you wanted to send the literal value of something like \/$" then it would become \\\/\$\", as you can see I have put the backslash in front of all the special characters, including itself.

in order to do this you would need to parse the message through a regular expression assertion that captures and substitutes those particular characters with the same but with an extra backslash in front.

I hope this helps
