JsonObject toString method doesn't escape double quotes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Create the following code:
 JsonObject jsonObj = new JsonObject();
 jsonObj.add("quotes", new JsonPrimitive("this is a double quote:'\"'"));
 System.out.println(jsonObj.toString());

I expected this string to be printed:
 {"quotes":"this is a double quote:'\"'"}

however i get this one instead:
 {"quotes":"this is a double quote:'"'"}

It's odd because if I have an object (non JsonObject) with a field with
quotes and i use GsonBuilder to convert it into a string it correctly
escapes the double quotes.

I am using version 1.3.

Please provide any additional information below.
