How do I send data which contains a double-quote using JSON?

I have a problem with JSON if our data has double quotes like this: " 15" " (15 inch).

JSON is not parsing it.

My code looks like this:

    String strheader = convert.ToString(dt.table[0].rows[0]["Size"]);
    Response.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
    Response.Write(strheader);

How can I solve this?

Use a Json library like Json.NET or Simple Json for the task since them will escape your data automaticaly.

If it is just a simple task then just escape it manually like some have suggested

Just escape the inner " by adding a \ before it:

" 15\" "
