OK. Nothing in the standard Qt bag-o-tricks will do this for you. You need to disassemble and un-escape the escaped elements, e.g. \" or \u00e9, yourself using QRegExp, QString etc. (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt) or use something like QJson (LGPL) to do it for you. I would go the second route unless licences prohibit you.
