use javascript inbuild functions escape and unescape  for example  var escapedData   escape  hel lo       output     27hel 27lo 27  which can be used in the attribute   again to read the value from the attr  var unescapedData   unescape   27hel 27lo 27   output     hel lo     This will be helpful if you have huge json stringify data to be used in the attribute

If for some reason you cannot escape the apostrophe character and you can t change it into a HTML entity  as it was in my case for a specific Vue js property  you can use replace to change it into different apostrophe character from the UTF8 characters set  for instance    - U 02BC     - U 2019
