Backslashes should have to be escaped to be included in data

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I'm trying to specify string random data for a value which will be delimited by 
double quotes and which might include backslashes and/or double quotes.  I can 
escape a double quote very easily but it appears that I do not have to escape 
backslashes.  The problem with not being able to escape backslashes is that you 
can't end a string with a backslash because the next character is a quote and 
the parser believe the backslash is escaping the closing quote.

I will attach a sample JSON file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When I try to parse the JSON, I get:

And get the following when I try to parse it:

com.json.exceptions.JSONParsingException:
