Hi,
from a rest call I get a JSON with a strange format:
{"DEPLOY_ATTRIBUTES":"{\n \"dependency-type\":
\"soft\"\n}","MTA_METADATA":"{\n \"id\":...
The sub objects are enclosed with quotes and there are a lot of
line break characters.
Also the quotes are escaped.
I try to translate a Python script which has no issues to
handle this JSON correctly,
but I do not understand why.
Python seems to handle this with decode('utf-8')? Is there some
functionality in Phobos to handle this format correctly?
Kind regards
André
OK, I found the solution. There is no magic in python. For these
kinds of attributes the python code checks whether it is a
string, and then tries to parse again as JSON, wired!
Kind regards
