JSONValue value = JSONParser.parseStrict(json);

JSONString name, text;

JSONNumber nxd;

if ((obj = value.isObject()) == null ) return null;

if ((value = obj.get("name")) != null) 

if ((name = value.isString()) != null)

   field.setName(name.stringValue());

if ((value = obj.get("text")) != null) 

if ((text = value.isString()) != null){

System.out.println("VALUE:" + value.toString());  //VALUE:"Kindle Fire HD 8.9\" ..."

System.out.println("TEXT:" + text.stringValue()); //TEXT:Kindle Fire HD 8.9" ...

field.setText(text.stringValue());

}

Am I supposed to use JSONValue.toString() to get my string value instead? Why JSONString.stringValue() doesn't parse properly?

The question is more: why do you want the \ to be there?

It's in your JSON because JSON uses " to markup string literals and thus has to escape " that appears within the string value, just like you do in Java or JavaScript or so many other languages (C, etc.)

stringValue() *does* return the correct value, it's just that you're expecting something else.
