React-Native Escape Character

escapeChar.js

function escapeCharAndroid(url, body) {
  return fetch(url, { // Use your url here
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  .then(response => response.text()) // Convert to text instead of res.json()
  .then((text) => {
    if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
      text = text.replace(/\r?\n/g, '').replace(/[\u0080-\uFFFF]/g, ''); // If android , I've removed unwanted chars. 
    }
    return text;
  })
  .then(response => JSON.parse(response)); // Parse the text.
}

Use this function as a wrapper to your api calls.

4 years later and your function is still useful. Thanks, I was blocked in a parsing nightmare until I found your solution !

@michaelcv Glad, it helped, but I honestly don't remember what it does. 😄 However, I remember it was something related to encoding issues in ASP webservers.
