title: JSONObject.toString: how NOT to escape slashes
body: <p>I need to send a date in JSON. The date string should look like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"2013/5/15"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Instead , <code>JSONObject.toString</code> escapes it as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"2013\ /5\ /15"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I understand that this is done to allow json strings inside scripts tags, as this question explains:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/1580647/813951">JSON: why are forward slashes escaped?</a></p>
  
  <p>But in my case I don't need it. In fact the server is returning an error. The server is not dealing with this and I can't fix the server, so I must fix it in the mobile client code.</p>
  
  <p>I could do a <code>String.replace</code> after serializing it, but what if I actually wanted to include the "\ /" string in any other part of the JSON?  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to serialize a JSON object without escaping slashes? (If possible, without escaping anything)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
