API doesn't escape quote characters in JSON output
Using the API browser and obtaining a list of events, the browser returns invalid JSON if the event name contains a quoted string. For example, if the event name is "Merchant of Venice" Discussion, the JSON string for the event name is:
"Title": ""The Merchant of Venice" Discussion",
This is invalid JSON. The embedded quote characters need to be escaped: \"

The API browser is a tool to check an overall format of the API requests and responses. It could be uncertain in some minor cases. For receiving a raw data you could send requests to the API directly.
In this particular case, the API browser removes a ‘\’ symbol before quotes.
