I have a JSON/XML api and want to pass an additional payload as part of the message.

For example JSON:

JavaScript

{
  "SomeId": "0ffa1fc7-4e6e-46a3-a650-2129c32be1e9",
  "Payload": "INSERT JSON HERE"
  "Name": "sample string 3"
}

or for XML:

XML

<Entity>
  <SomeId>0ffa1fc7-4e6e-46a3-a650-2129c32be1e9</SomeId>
  <Name>sample string 2</Name>
  <Payload>INSERT XML HERE</Payload>
</Entity>

The reason is because I want this payload to be persisted and used at a later stage.

The solution was of course to escape the payload

e.g.

JavaScript

{
  "Id": "fb3c6ce3-04ab-4c0d-84a9-11c4ab4416bc",
  "Payload":"{\"ID\":\"testid1\",\"Value\":10}",
  "Name": "sample string 3"
}
