> Hello,
> There is a problem with org.apache.struts2.json.JSONValidationInterceptor
> This class is using StringEscapeUtils.escapeEcmaScript(String) to escape the generated JSON string.
> The problem is that StringEscapeUtils.escapeEcmaScript escapes the apostrophes. Some JSON implementations accept the escaped apostrophes but some other don't and they are not able to parse the JSON.
> I think there should be at least an option to disable apostrophe escaping. But as I believe escaping apostrophe is not part of the JSON specifications, the best would be to not allow apostrophe escaping.
> As an example, here is a JSON string generated by the JSON plugin :
> {code}
> {
>     "fieldErrors": {
>         "password": [
>             "Password isn\'t correct"
>         ]
>     }
> }
> {code}
> If you test it on http://jsonlint.com/, it says the syntax is incorrect.
> Thanks.
