Steps to reproduce:

• json value return by user parameter contains '\n' ( new line)
• json preprocessing fails

Result:

Item preprocessing step #1 failed: cannot extract value from json by path "$.result": cannot parse as a valid JSON object: invalid control character in string data at: '
",
"logging.configuration" : "file:/opt/jboss/logging.properties",

Expected:

the json should be correctly preprocessed

Additional information: 

• Sample Json file:

  # cat /tmp/json.txt
  {
    "number": 123,
    "key": "value",
    "new line": "\n"
  }
  

• Works fine with jq

  # cat /tmp/json.txt|jq '.'
  {
    "number": 123,
    "key": "value",
    "new line": "\n"
  }
