JSONString return backslashes

I’m trying to use graphene JSONString to query/mutate a django jsonfield, but in the both cases I receive/send this:

{
  "data": {
    "TitleType": [
      {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "My First Title",
        "fields": "{\"a\": \"b\"}"
      }
    ]
  }
}

can you guys tell me how can I avoid the backslashes in both cases?

from graphene.types.generic import GenericScalar

You can’t avoid backlashes because that how JSON strings look. According to JSON spec, JSON values have to use double quotes - " So if you have a JSON value inside a a string value that’s in a JSON, you cant use the inner " chars will break the outer JSON, you have to backslash them.

An alternative would be to use GenericScalar instead of JSONString. In that case your value will be returned as a JSON object and not a string, like this:

{
  "data": {
    "TitleType": [
      {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "My First Title",
        "fields": {"a": "b"}
      }
    ]
  }
}
