How to Remove escape characters from javascript variable used inside script tag.

i have a ui page in the html section of that ui page i am using an evaluate tag

<g:evaluate var="jvar_doc_content" object="true" expression="
var doc_content = JSON.stringify(new DocXDataProvider('08a81416db43134077d256d4ce9619b1').getDocumentJSON());
gs.info(doc_content);
doc_content;"

Now the variable - jvar_doc_content contains json value something like {"date":"2018-07-04 03:24:41","name":"xyz"}

The problem is that when i am using the variable inside jelly script tag(mentioned at last) the json is coming as 

{\"date\":\"2018-07-04 03:24:41\",\"name\":\"xyz\"} instead of  {"date":"2018-07-04 03:24:41","name":"xyz"}

Script tag

 

<script>
doc.setData(${jvar_doc_content});

</script>

have you tried with this  replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, '');

 

give a try

you mean like this doc.setData((${jvar_doc_content}).replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, ''));

can you store the json result in one hidden field and then use replace() and pass the output in jvar variable .

or other way is 

or this should also work.

JSON.stringify({\"date\":\"2018-07-04 03:24:41\",\"name\":\"xyz\"} , null, '\t');

replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, ''); this does work but hides all other correctors like : , etc
