JSON structure string in groovy

I wanted to create a string in groovy in following structure

"{\"Changes\": [{\"Action\": \"UPSERT\", \"ResourceRecordSet\": 
       { \"Name\": \"rms-collector-demo.cnqr.delivery.\",\"Type\": 
         \"CNAME\",\"TTL\": 300,\"ResourceRecords\": [{ \"Value\": 
         \"d-4kushcom5y13.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\"}]}}]}"

tried with escaping characters but was not useful. can some one help what should be the format used in groovy to define this string.

Instead of carefully crafting some JSON as a string (and maybe add errors in the process), you can use JsonOutput to create the JSON from a simple data structure:

def json = groovy.json.JsonOutput.toJson([Changes: ["X"]])
println json
// => {"Changes":["X"]}

Groovy supports multi-line strings, so you can simply use

"""
   {"Changes": [{"Action": "UPSERT", "ResourceRecordSet": 
   { "Name": "rms-collector-demo.cnqr.delivery.","Type": 
     "CNAME","TTL": 300,"ResourceRecords": [{ "Value": 
     "d-4kushcom5y13.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"}]}}]}
"""

You can also use ''' to create a normal String.
