I make a jQUERY ajax call to send and save to data.When I send `Google's Dog` string, I receive `Google\'s Dog` . What is the reason of this . And what is the best way yo avoid this. I do not want to use stripslashes function because this removes all backslashes 

```
$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: 'http://example.com/api/save',
  data: {
    data: userArray,
  },
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function(response) {
  }
});

```

userArray is an array which has user's information
