Rendering JSON response string in Java Controller like a Scala Controller

In a Scala controller, I can simply render a response (for dev pursposes) using the magical """:

Ok("""{"key":"value"}"""}

In a Java controller, this obviously doesn't work. Is there a quick way to render a JSON string as a response? (that is too long to escape manually without hitting my head against a wall)

I don't want to do:

ok("{\"key\":\"value\"}");

No. """ it's feature from Scala and Groovy programming languages. In Java no analogue.
You can try 

ok("{'key':'value'}");

but it does not always work

The only way I see is to write a small shell script or scala script to do the escaping for you and then copy/paste the output of that into your java file.
