JSON with escape characters cannot be parsed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Try to parse JSON like:
{"text" : "skill: \"Heuristic Evaluation\"", "country" : ""}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm getting the error:
com.jayway.jsonpath.InvalidJsonException: Unexpected token euristic 
Evaluation"",
            "country" at position ...
However the provided JSON is completely valid and should be parsed well.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.1

Please provide any additional information below.

You must escape the backslashes.

String json = "{\"text\" : \"skill: \\\"Heuristic Evaluation\\\"\", \"country\" 
: \"\"}";
assertEquals("skill: \"Heuristic Evaluation\"", JsonPath.read(json, "$.text"));
