    There is no way to bypass that. JSON uses double quotes to wrap strings. Then a backslash is used to escape double quotes inside the string. Do you create the HTML yourself? If yes, I think you could use single quotes as well.

    Try substituting the \" with " and should resolve your problem. For this, you can use the substitute() method.

    Do you convert the response from an Appian map into JSON? If yes, the backslash is used to escape the quotes. That is the expected behaviour. Once you convert it back from JSON, the backslashes will be gone.

    Hi Sir,
    How can I convert it back to JSON. Do I need to use a function? or adjust my code? Cause I try to used a!toJson() and this is the result.

    It already is JSON. You need to use fromJson().
