Are you Struggling to deserialize JSON with escaped double quotes?

JSON(I am working with): JSONLinter confirms this is a valid JSON.

{ "errors": [ { "params": { "password": "size must be between 4 and 30", "loginId": "must match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"" } } ] }
Attempt 1(Using JSONParser:
String str = '{ "errors": [ { "params": { "password": "size must be between 4 and 30", "loginId": "must match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"" } } ] }'; JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(str); while(parser.nextToken() != null){ parser.nextToken(); }

Fails:

▸ ERROR: System.JSONException: Unexpected character ('^' (code 94)): was ▸ expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries at input location [1,99] ▸ ERROR: Class.System.JSONParser.nextToken: line 94, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 3, column 1 ▸

AnonymousBlock: line 3, column 1

Attempt 2(JSON2Apex option):

public class JSON2Apex { public class Errors { public Params params; } public List errors; public class Params { public String password; public String loginId; } } String str = '{ "errors": [ { "params": { "password": "size must be between 4 and 30", "loginId": "must match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"" } } ] }'; JSON2Apex obj = (JSON2Apex)JSON.deserialize(str, JSON2Apex.class);

Fails:

▸ ERROR: System.JSONException: Unexpected character ('^' (code 94)): was ▸ expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries at [line:1, column:99] ▸ ERROR: Class.System.JSON.deserialize: line 15, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1

Attempt 3(deserializeUntyped):

String str = '{ "errors": [ { "params": { "password": "size must be between 4 and 30", "loginId": "must match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"" } } ] }'; Map jsonObj = (Map)JSON.deserializeUntyped(str);

Fails:

▸ ERROR: System.JSONException: Unexpected character ('^' (code 94)): was ▸ expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries at [line:1, column:99] ▸ ERROR: Class.System.JSON.deserializeUntyped: line 11, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1

Attempt 4(replace the problem causing double quote in JSON):
String str = '{ "errors": [ { "params": { "password": "size must be between 4 and 30", "loginId": "must match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"" } } ] }'; Map jsonObj = (Map)JSON.deserializeUntyped(str.replaceAll('"', '\"'));

Still fails:

▸ ERROR: System.JSONException: Unexpected character ('^' (code 94)): was ▸ expecting comma to separate OBJECT entries at [line:1, column:99] ▸ ERROR: Class.System.JSON.deserializeUntyped: line 11, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1 ▸ AnonymousBlock: line 2, column 1
