Cloud Foundry How Tos - Updating service with json object in custom parameter¶

Escape quotes of json objects in command line¶

There are differences in escaping quotes of json objects in command line. The following example shows the correct escaping for Linux / Mac, Windows Command Line and Windows PowerShell.

• Linux / Mac:
  cf update-service <servicename> -c '{"update": true}'
• Windows Command Line:
  cf update-service <servicename> -c "{\"update\": true}"
• Windows PowerShell:
  cf update-service <servicename> -c '{\"update\": true}'

Transfer json in file¶

To avoid quote escaping issues, the custom parameter in json format can also be transerred in a file instead of command line.

Example:
1) foo.json file:

{
  "update": true
}
