Create a JSON Clear Text String for a set of data.

Hello,

I need to create a JSON Clear Text String from a set of data I have. I will then encrypt this string & pass it to a 3rd party in a URL.
Can I just create a string formatted to how JSON would be formatted, or do I need to create an actual JSON object (Note I don;t need the string myself after it is created & encrypted & sent via the url.I Presume I can just construct a string without a need for an actual JSONObject)?

if Creating a string. Is the following a good example of how it should be created/formatted?

String jsonReturn='{email' + ':' + ' jim.secondname@test.com}';
jsonReturn = jsonReturn + '{user_type' + ':' + ' Sales Rep}';
jsonReturn = jsonReturn + '{first_name' + ':' + ' Jim}';
jsonReturn = jsonReturn + '{zip' + ':' + ' 12456}';
Therefore: email, user_type, first_name and zip are my four names and the values follow (e.g. jim.secondname@test.com is a value.

Does the above look like a correct JSON Clear Text String being created?

Thanks in advance.

Is the following then a correctly formatted JSON string

{email:jim.secondname@test.com}{user_type: Sales Rep}{first_name: Jim}{zip: 12456}

Thanks

or is the following correct

{emailjim.secondname@test.com,user_type:Sales Rep,first_name: Jim,zip:12456}

yes you can just build the string if thats your preference

> {emailjim.secondname@test.com,user_type:Sales Rep,first_name: Jim,zip:12456}

that last one is correct
