Webhook order/paid JSON invalid when line_item name contains a quote.

[samuel_webster_]

I'm receiving a webhook json with the following line item.

This item has a quotation mark in it's title, and the keen eye will notice  "name": "Thing that is inches long - Standard / 1"".

This isn't valid JSON since the product titles " isn't escaped with a backward slash.

{
  "id": 12345,
  "admin_graphql_api_id": "gid://shopify/LineItem/12345",
  "attributed_staffs": [],
  "current_quantity": 1,
  "fulfillable_quantity": 1,
  "fulfillment_service": "manual",
  "fulfillment_status": null,
  "gift_card": false,
  "grams": 26,
  "name": "Thing that is inches long - Standard / 1"",
  "price": "17.39",
  "price_set": {
    "shop_money": {
      "amount": "17.39",
      "currency_code": "USD"
    },
    "presentment_money": {
      "amount": "17.39",
      "currency_code": "USD"
    }
  }
}

I imagine this issue must occur if customers type a quote in their checkout information too, like a house name, or such. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Hey @samuel_webster_ 

That's strange, it should be escaped. How are you parsing the JSON? Can you try/confirm with https://webhook.site ?

Yeah, webhook raw confirms it is. I'm not unescaping through, I'm capturing raw input and chucking it into a db to deal with later. MySQL must be unescaping it on insert or something, thanks for the idea to check it raw elsewhere.
