how can i pass the json without escape sequence in curl?

I have to post JSON as request in cURL as

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST http://localhost:3000/users.json\ -d "{"user" : {"email":"[email protected]", "password":"qwerty", "password_confirmation":"qwerty"}}"

but this displays a Multi_json decode error.

It accepts this instead.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST http://localhost:3000/users.json -d "{\"user\" : {\"email\":\"[email protected]\", \"password\":\"qwerty\", \"password_confirmation\":\"qwerty\"}}"

How can I send the JSON without escaping it?

This has nothing to do with cURL or JSON.

The real question here is: "How do I pass an argument containing quote characters in bash?" (or whatever shell is being used to access the command line curl application).

Quote the string with ' characters instead of " characters.

This will only work if the data does not include ' characters.
