rest - GET with body (json format), what to do with apostrophe?

Question

I am new to REST. I have a client who tries call an api I have running. Problem is that they use some type of builder to create the body.

In my endpoint, I expect name field in the body like this:

{
"name": [
{ "tag": "1", "value": "O'Bryan" },
...

But client sends something like this:

{
'name': [
{'tag': '1 ', 'value': 'O'Bryan'}

It works except when name has apostrophe. I am wondering if this body will still valid. If not, what can they do to fix it without using double quote(")?

This body will not be valid, you would need to escape the single quote like so \'
