I wasn't 100% familiar with JSON strings, or working with events and attaching a groovy script, but after a bit of research I was able to put something together that should work. The challenge was as follows: Unescape JSON Strings Create a Groovy script, which unescapes JSON strings in the body of a REST API response before the response in shown in the response editor: Example of original response body: { "employee": "{\"name\":\"John\", \"age\":30, \"city\":\"New York\"}" } Example of the corresponding modified response body: { "employee": { "name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York" } } Here, for the request that has a response that needs to be escaped, we have to add an Event to the project. That event should be of type "RequestFilter.afterRequest" and should contain the following groovy script: def responseContent = context.httpResponse.responseContent; context.httpResponse.responseContent = responseContent.replaceAll("\\\\", ""); I believe this should solve the problem presented in the script challenge. I learned something new, too! I'd be eager to see how other people solve it, or if I am even on the right track. It appears to work for me, though.

TanyaYatskovska, there's definitely a world of possibilities that I am just now beginning to understand by hooking into events with groovy scripts. I am going to have to do some more exploring myself though to get a feel for further functionality!
