Big problem with all controls (XSS, but not only)

I have big problem with Syncfusion controls (e.g. with TextBox control).
When value in TextBox is </script> page output is completely messy.

Output from default Asp Net Core control is ok, but output from Syncfusion TextBox is "broken" - (like on screenshot below):


It's not only problem with <script> or </script> text. Single quotation mark (") can broke output. It's because your library generate javascript without escaping values from model fields. For example:

var TextBoxhjmrudszwgx=new ejs.inputs.TextBox({
  "enableRtl": false,
  "value": "</script>"
});
TextBoxhjmrudszwgx.appendTo("#editText"); 

Or for field value with quotation mark:

var TextBoxhjmrudszwgx=new ejs.inputs.TextBox({
  "enableRtl": false,
  "value": """
});
TextBoxhjmrudszwgx.appendTo("#editText"); 

In my opinion it should be escaped.

What am I doing wrong? What I have to do to make it work properly?

Ma sample project is in attachment.
