Escape single quote in DB connection

[Mareetta]

Is there a way to escape special characters in MySQL connection? I am trying to escape a single quote in UPDATEACCOUNTJSON where a user's name is like O'Reilly

{
"UpdateAccountQry": [
'${"UPDATE table SET  NAME= '${user.name}' WHERE USERNAME='xyz' }'
]
}
