MalformedJsonException with Retrofit API?

Question

I need send a json to my webservice, json is:

{
    \"Sala\": {
        \"usuario\": \"%@\",
        \"adversario\": \"%@\",
        \"atualizacao\": \"%@\"

Seems its changed slightly with Retrofit 2.0

Here's how I did it:

 Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl("http://whatever.com")
        .addConverterFactory(LenientGsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
        .build();

A new lenient gson factory:

public final class LenientGsonConverterFactory extends Converter.Factory {

        /**
         * Create an instance using a default {@link Gson} instance for conversion. Encoding to JSON and
         * decoding from JSON (when no charset is specified by a header) will use UTF-8.
         */
        public static LenientGsonConverterFactory create() {
            return create(new Gson());
        }

        /**
         * Create an instance using {@code gson} for conversion. Encoding to JSON and
         * decoding from JSON (when no charset is specified by a header) will use UTF-8.
         */
        public static LenientGsonConverterFactory create(Gson gson) {
            return new LenientGsonConverterFactory(gson);
        }

        private final Gson gson;

        private LenientGsonConverterFactory(Gson gson) {
            if (gson == null) throw new NullPointerException("gson == null");
            this.gson = gson;
        }

        @Override
        public Converter<ResponseBody, ?> responseBodyConverter(Type type, Annotation[] annotations,
                                                                Retrofit retrofit) {
            TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type));
            return new LenientGsonResponseBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter);
        }

        @Override
        public Converter<?, RequestBody> requestBodyConverter(Type type,
                                                              Annotation[] parameterAnnotations, Annotation[] methodAnnotations, Retrofit retrofit) {
            TypeAdapter<?> adapter = gson.getAdapter(TypeToken.get(type));
            return new LenientGsonRequestBodyConverter<>(gson, adapter);
        }

    }

Lenient parsing of responses:

    private class LenientGsonResponseBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<ResponseBody, T> {
        private final Gson gson;
        private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter;

        LenientGsonResponseBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) {
            this.gson = gson;
            this.adapter = adapter;
        }

        @Override
        public T convert(ResponseBody value) throws IOException {
            JsonReader jsonReader = gson.newJsonReader(value.charStream());
            jsonReader.setLenient(true);
            try {
                return adapter.read(jsonReader);
            } finally {
                value.close();
            }
        }
    }

Lenient creation of requests:

   private class LenientGsonRequestBodyConverter<T> implements Converter<T, RequestBody> {
        private static final MediaType MEDIA_TYPE = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=UTF-8");
        private static final Charset UTF_8 = Charset.forName("UTF-8");

        private final Gson gson;
        private final TypeAdapter<T> adapter;

        LenientGsonRequestBodyConverter(Gson gson, TypeAdapter<T> adapter) {
            this.gson = gson;
            this.adapter = adapter;
        }

        @Override
        public RequestBody convert(T value) throws IOException {
            Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
            Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(buffer.outputStream(), UTF_8);
            JsonWriter jsonWriter = gson.newJsonWriter(writer);
            jsonWriter.setLenient(true);
            adapter.write(jsonWriter, value);
            jsonWriter.close();
            return RequestBody.create(MEDIA_TYPE, buffer.readByteString());
        }
    }

I just copied the Retrofit source code and added a line to the request and the response converters jsonWriter.setLenient(true);

Or even easier:

    Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
        .setLenient()
        .create();

    Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl("http://whatever.com")
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
        .build();
