Marking up text- like bolding - inserts HTML tags into the JSON data text string

Question

HI there, I love your editor, and when I was first rolling my own solution, I came up with an API similar to your block API. One thing I noticed however when playing with your homepage demo, was that if you highlight a word and make it bold, it goes from:

 {
      "type" : "paragraph",
      "data" : {
          "text" : "Hey. Meet the new Editor. On this page you can see it in action — try to edit this text."
      }
  },

to

 {
      "type" : "paragraph",
      "data" : {
          "text" : "Hey. <b>Meet </b>the new Editor. On this page you can see it in action — try to edit this text."
      }
  },

The tag inside is not ideal for use in React. To parse it I would need to do some string manipulation to strip it out and replace it properly. Do you have an alternative to this?

Context

I want to use this in React, and of course I need only JSON data, no tags within the data.

So like I said when I was coming up with a solution myself my API was similar but slightly different. If I wanted to bold a word in the middle of a sentence, I would do something like:

 {
{
          type: "p",
          content: [
            {
              type: "strong",
              content: "Identify ",
            },
            {
              type: "span",
              content: "the correct statement about both satellites.",
            },
          ],
        }
  },
