So i let it remain in the json. JsonOutput.toJson adding \ def mainElement= element1: [ {"key" : "value", "key2" : "value2","element2": [{ "key3" : "value3"}, {"key4" : "value4"} ] element2 was already formed with JsonOutput.toJson JsonOutput.toJson(mainElement) is resulting in: element1: [ {"key" : "value", "key2" : "value2","element2":[{\"key3\":\"value3\"},{\"key4\":\"key4\"}] how to remove the ones \ that got added?
