Converting dictionary to a different JSON response

What is your use case?

If you really need to do that, you can do a toJson() followed by a substitute() call to replace " with \".

Feels like you want to escape a JSON string. For this you would need to escape more characters.

Yes I want to escape the quotes in json string. Will the substitute function will help achieve this?

The information helped. Thanks Stefan.

Hi Vivek

Please try the below code  which is closer to your output.

a!localVariables(
local!data:{
{name:"Vivek",
place:"XYZ"}
} ,
local!final:substitute(insertkeyval("name",local!data["name"],"\","\"),"=","\:\"),
local!final2:substitute(insertkeyval("place",local!data["place"],"\","\"),"=","\:\"),
local!data2:concat(local!final,",",local!final2),
local!data2

)

sample output "\name\:\Vivek\,\place\:\XYZ\"
