title: How to send a json string in a json request?
body: <p>I need to send a json string in the json request and pass it on the backend to be unmarshalled as an object. ie a JSon request has a string attribute which can be converted to an object later. What's the format for that?</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>{"name":"bob","address":{"state":"ny","city":"newport"}}</code>. I dont want <code>"address" : {...}</code> to be unmarshalled here.. i want it to be sent as it is to backend as a String.</p>
  
  <p>FWIW, i m using jackson , and I dont think that should matter.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I dont want to escape the characters ie
   <code>"address":{\"state\":\"ny\",\"city\":\"newport\"}</code></p>
