Platform Events: JSONGenerator adding \n & \r
Hello All,
I have a need to send a platform event with the contents of an object put in a structured JSON format. Includes a few JSON arrays.
For this, I used JSONGenerator, to structure my code:
and I followed the below article to structure the JSON
https://developer.salesforce.com/index.php?title=Getting_Started_with_Apex_JSON
Now, I get the generator as a String and set it to a variable and subsequently assign it to a platform event's Text field.
String ganDetailsJSON = generator.getAsString();
The problem is the receiver of this platform event gets content with all \n. \r & \\ characters :
How can I get rid of the additional characters that are added and make it more readable and parsable JSON format?
If it was over a webservice, then converting it to a Blob would have helped. But given its a platform event and I need to set it in a tecxt field, is there any other way to work it out?
Regards,
Gautam
