How to handle escape character in attribute?

[xcv58]

I have html string like this:

var html = '<div class="content" data-content="Some text. &lt;a href=&quot;https://google.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;external&quot;&gt;Google!&lt;/a&gt;">internal text</div>'

It has data-content attribute which contains <, > and ".

The output is:

<div className="content" data-content="Some text. <a href=&quot;https://google.com/" target="_blank" class="external">Google!</a>">internal text</div>

But it's not a valid jsx code.

I uses this fork to handle such case:
xcv58@ed12343

But I'm not sure whether it's correct way.

I am having a similar problem with { and } characters.
