I want to parse the JSON column in Athena but I have a problem in one column. The column includes an escape character. I don’t know if this problem. I want to reach to Message. You can see below sample data and Message under Return. Thanks
Sample Code CAST(json_extract_scalar(callparameters, '$return.Message') AS VARCHAR) AS Message
This is the JSON.
{"inputs":{"usagespecid":"null","playsessionid":"null","satellitetypecd":""ERU"","channelcontentid":"231"},
"return":"{"Message":"Do not person you have called "}"} {"date":"2021-07-26","epoch":"1627"} {"userpartyid":"23","userloginkey":"23","usercountrycode":"br","sessionkey":"23","client":{"name":"SMR","id":"1"},"usermainsatellitetype":"DS","userserviceaccountids":["23"],"usergeolocationid":"53","userpartyroleid":"76"}

Answer
If you take only the object which contains return you can parse return into json with json_parse since it contains an encoded string not an json object:
WITH dataset AS (
SELECT * FROM (VALUES
(JSON '{
"inputs":{
"usagespecid":"null",
"playsessionid":"null",
"satellitetypecd":""ERU"",
"channelcontentid":"231"
},
"return":"{"Message":"Do not person you have called "}"
}')
) AS t (json_string))
SELECT json_extract_scalar(json_parse(json_extract_scalar(json_string, '$.return')), '$.Message')
FROM dataset
Output:
| _col0 |
|---|
| Do not person you have called |
