Hi,

How to save quotations like "" and slash like \ in json in elasticsearch.

I am running below command but it fails:

PUT my\_index/\_doc/1  
{  
"name": "Some information",  
"value": "//\/"  
}

Thanks,

Hi,

Elasticsearch needs the special characters to be backslashed in the PUT request. In order to send the special characters backslash you need to do like this:

```
PUT my_index/_doc/1
{
  "name": "Some information",
  "value": "\\\""
}
```
