RestSharp AddBody adding double quote in JSON parameter

Question

I am calling API with RESTSharp

  var client = new RestClient("http://demoservice.com");
  var request = new RestRequest("callapi", "put");          
  request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

string jsonaction = "{\"tokenid\":\"x123x45\",\"userid\":\"2456\",\"ip\":\"192.168.1.20\",\"transaction\":\"6\",\"actionCode\":\"78\",\"jtoken\":\"systemtoken\"}";
request.AddBody(new { action = "SAVE", data = "savedata", token = "systemtoken", jsonaction = jsonaction });

I am checking in debug data passing in request. and my expected output as follows

{"action":"SAVE","data":"savedata","token":"systemtoken","jsonaction":{"tokenid":"x123x45","userid":"2456","ip":"192.168.1.20","transaction":"6","actionCode":"78","jtoken":"systemtoken"}}

But getting

{"action":"SAVE","data":"savedata","token":"systemtoken","jsonaction":"{"tokenid":"x123x45","userid":"2456","ip":"192.168.1.20","transaction":"6","actionCode":"78","jtoken":"systemtoken"}"}

If anybody can guide how to post for JSON I have tried with Addbody and AddJsonBody but nothing works.

You can do this using the request.AddParameter() method:

request.Method = Method.POST;
request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.Parameters.Clear();
request.AddParameter("application/json", data , ParameterType.RequestBody);

var response = client.Execute(request);
var content = response.Content; // raw content as string  

Where data is of the format:

data :

{
  "action":"dosomething" ,
  "data":"somedata" ,
  "token":"sometoken",
  "jsonAction": {
    "tokenId": "",
    ...
}

Hope it helps!
