Insert keywords (double quotes) in mongodb using insert statement. (Escape sequence)

Question

I want to insert a string that contains double quotes and single quotes as below.

db.collectionName.insert({"filedName" : "my field contains "double quotes" and 'single quotes' how to insert"}) ;

When I try insert above, it got error as my field contain double quotes, can some one tell me something like escape sequence to insert double quote?

Can't do as under my field also contain single quotes. db.collectionName.insert({"filedName" : 'my field contains "double quotes" and 'single quotes' how to insert'}) ;
