How to disable character escaping by jackson

Question

I want to include html in my JSON response.

MyClass obj= new MyCLass();
obj.setHTML("<div style='display:none'>4</div>");

ObjectMapper mapper=new ObjectMapper();
mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);

String jsonResponse=mapper.writeValueAsString(obj);
System.out.println(jsonResponse);

O/P i get

{"html":"<div style=\"display:none\">4</div>"}

Required O/P

{"html":"<div style='display:none'>4</div>"}

Since I want to use the json response directly. Can i disable the escaping of qoutes by object mapper.
