title: Escape characters after Serializing using Json
body: <p>Y is my object being serialized in a weird manner while using <code>newtonsoft.json</code> from ASP.Net Web API?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var s = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(request, Formatting.None, new JsonSerializerSettings { NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output string as below,</p>
  
  <pre><code>"{\"head\":{\"version\":\"1.0\",\"serial\":\"20140102,6,125\",\"skinId\":\"Test\""
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to send <code>Json format</code> string to a third party rest service (they accept only <code>Json format</code>).</p>
  
  <p>Any help is much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers
  S</p>
