title: Making JSON not Escape Forward Slashes
body: <p>This is an extenuation of this question:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1580647/json-why-are-forward-slashes-escaped">JSON: why are forward slashes escaped?</a></p>
  
  <p>So I understand why JSON escapes the forwards slashes when I create a JSONArray that has Strings that contain URLs (links) in each of its indices. I would like to now know how to make JSON not escape these forward slashes when I serialize a String like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[['documentary', 'http://www.google.com/#q=documentary']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>into a JSONArray. I was thinking of iterating through the Strings and removing any instance where there is a backslash, but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way of doing this or a way to have it so that the above string would not automatically be escaped as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[['documentary', 'http:\/\/www.google.com\/#q=documentary']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you! Let me know if anything is unclear.</p>
