title: How do I unescape a JSON String using Java/Jackson?
body: <p>I am using Jackson version 2.4.3 for converting my complex Java object into a String object, so below is what I'm getting in output. The output is like below (Fyi - I just printed some part of the output)</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;{\&quot;FirstName\&quot;:\&quot;John \&quot;,\&quot;LastName\&quot;:cena,\&quot;salary\&quot;:7500,\&quot;skills\&quot;:[\&quot;java\&quot;,\&quot;python\&quot;]}&quot;;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Here is my code (PaymentTnx is a complex Java object)</p>
  <pre><code>ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
  mapper.setVisibility(PropertyAccessor.FIELD, Visibility.ANY);
  String lpTransactionJSON = mapper.writeValueAsString(paymentTxn);
  </code></pre>
  <p>I don't want to see \ slashes in my JSON string. What do I need to do to get a string like below:</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;{&quot;FirstName&quot;:&quot;John &quot;,&quot;LastName&quot;:cena,&quot;salary&quot;:7500,&quot;skills&quot;:[&quot;java&quot;,&quot;python&quot;]}&quot;;
  </code></pre>
