I would think a preprocessor is best to deal with that. You could probably JSON/URL decode that back into the original string in the preprocessor. It doesn't have to be in Beanshell/Java, could be in Javascript with one of the other preprocessors. Whatever is easiest to decode the string. Like in PHP, there's a json_decode(str) method that will do that for you.
