Converting String into Dictionary via Python containing invalid JSON

Another way, with .replace('\\"', '"')

Code:

import json

input_string = "{\"SOAPAction\":\"http://www.my-website..uk/path/To/service/v1/serviceAndLedger\",\"ID\":\"1sceas2-61ae-379dd-a9cd-c813fb07u8inb\", \"info\": {\"GMT\":\"16/Nov/2022:12:13:46 +0000\", \"client\":\"10.177.147.71:42987\", \"frontend\":\"path/to_my_ip/12.189.66.213:8804\", \"request\":\"POST /path/service HTTP/1.1\", \"body\":\"\\/path\\/of\\/downloaded\\/file.xml\", \"response\":\"-\"}}"

new_string = input_string.replace('\\"', '"')

result_dict = json.loads(new_string)
print(json.dumps(result_dict, indent=4))
    

Output:

{
    "SOAPAction": "http://www.my-website..uk/path/To/service/v1/serviceAndLedger",
    "ID": "1sceas2-61ae-379dd-a9cd-c813fb07u8inb",
    "info": {
        "GMT": "16/Nov/2022:12:13:46 +0000",
        "client": "10.177.147.71:42987",
        "frontend": "path/to_my_ip/12.189.66.213:8804",
        "request": "POST /path/service HTTP/1.1",
        "body": "/path/of/downloaded/file.xml",
        "response": "-"
    }
}
