JSON Parser issue

[DanielG]

I'm sending the following variable value to the salesforce rest API.

However, it looks like the (semicolon) at the end of my variable is being passed as well.

Here is my request body:

{"Status":"New","Type":"User Account Set Up - I need access to:","Case_Reason_Submitted__c":"Salesforce","Subject": "SFDC re-activation for Joshua Martinez","Description": "Requester Name: Samuel Martinez\nAccess Reason: Opportunity Owner\nPlease Provide access reason: \nMirror User: Tom Smith\nManager Name: Scott Ross\nDescription/Business Justification: Testing\nTeam LOB: SLV","Priority":"Low"};

As a result its causing a JSON parser error when i send this in my request body: 

How do I fix this parsing issue?

Hi,

Hmm, I do see where it can't deserialize with that semicolon there. Can you share the entire concatenated version of what you're doing? As we can see in your request body, it's more than just the sfDescription, that's only the middle portion. What does it look like where you're building the whole thing? Perhaps there's an extra character there somewhere.

Ah, I forgot to remove the additional semicolon from my body variable. Thank you for you help @Allen Andreas
