Hi Community, I have taken a look around in the existing topics, but didn't find an appropriate solution, so here goes my problem: With a REST request I get back a json payload, that contains characters in German, e.g. "ä", "ü", "ö", when I pretty print it in Postman or Insomnia I get: Looking at the raw data, that turns out to be: "parentCustomerNameASC":"Bl\u00fctenhaus GmbH" So, in short: is there a way to convert the json unicode coding of "\u00FC" to "ü", see link here . As far as I can see this is a mixed problem of json and encoding. The only viable solution I found so far is to go through such an string manually, like suggested here. I am using the JKI rest client and JDP's JSONtext libraries to obtain the initial string. If anyone can suggest any (elegant) solution in LabVIEW/Python/.NET, that would be much appreciated. Cheers, Niko

I can see in your screenshot that your JSON String is "Bl\00fctenhaus GmbH", so that is what that function returns. Perhaps you want to convert that to the ordinary sting 'Blütenhaus GmbH'? In that case you need to use a function that converts from JSON format to regular LabVIEW types, like "From JSON". It can get confusing understanding the difference between a JSON string and an ordinary string.

I fully agree, but that seems to be the way that Microsoft Business Central handles web services.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help!
