--------------------------------------

             Summary: TSimpleJsonProtocol serialization on string with inner 
quotes does not produce valid JSON.
                 Key: THRIFT-5474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5474
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java - Library
            Reporter: Grant Sherrick


There is an issue in the generation of JSON from the TSimpleJSONProtocol, where 
if there are quotes inside of a string, then those quotes will not be 
serialized correctly. These quotes need one more layer of escaping to produce 
valid JSON.

 

For instance, if you have the Thrift structure defined by:

 
{code:java}
struct MyThriftStruct {
    1: required string my_string
}
{code}
 

And, I then define an object of that type in Java:
{code:java}
MyThriftStruct t = new MyThriftStruct();
t.my_string = "I said: \"this is a fairly nice string.\""{code}
 

And, if I then serialize this using the TSimpleJsonProtocol in this manner:
{code:java}
TSerializer thriftJsonSer = new TSerializer(new 
TNotSoSimpleJSONProtocol.Factory());
String myThriftStructJsonString = return thriftJsonSer.toString(t);
{code}
 

This will result in JSON that cannot be deserialized because the quotes inside 
of the string were not escaped properly.
