Checklist

  • I have verified that that issue exists against the master branch of Django REST framework.
  • I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
  • This is not a usage question. (Those should be directed to the discussion group instead.)
  • This cannot be dealt with as a third party library. (We prefer new functionality to be in the form of third party libraries where possible.)
  • I have reduced the issue to the simplest possible case.
  • I have included a failing test as a pull request. (If you are unable to do so we can still accept the issue.)

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a Serializer with a JSONField, and a View that uses it.
  • Using the browsable API, submit invalid JSON via the HTML form:
    {
        "some": ["json"}

Expected behavior

JSONBoundField shouldn't mangle invalid JSON.

Actual behavior

Form comes back with JSON escaped version of string:

"{\r\n    \"some\": [\"json\"}"
