I am using json-spray. It seems that when I attempt to print a parsed JsString value, it includes book-ended quotes on the string.
val x1 = """ {"key1": "value1", "key2": 4} """
println(x1.asJson)
println(x1.asJson.convertTo[Map[String, JsValue]])
Which outputs:
{"key1":"value1","key2":4}
Map(key1 -> "value1", key2 -> 4)
But that means that the string value of key1 is actually quoted since scala displays strings without their quotes. i.e. val k = "value1"
outputs: value1
not "value1"
. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but the best I could come up with to alleviate this was the following:
val m = x1.asJson.convertTo[Map[String, JsValue]]
val z = m.map({
case(x,y) => {
val ny = y.toString( x => x match {
case v: JsString =>
v.toString().tail.init
case v =>
v.toString()
} )
(x,ny)
}})
println(z)
Which outputs a correctly displayed string:
Map(key1 -> value1, key2 -> 4)
But this solution won't work for recursively nested JSON. Is there a better workaround?
