REST views: double encoding of apostrophes in REST Export display

In the below sample of a REST export view output in JSON format, you can see that an apostrophe character (ASCII code 39) is double encoded in the form of "\u0026#039;".

[{"book_background_pattern":"\/sites\/default\/files\/a_visit_to\/background_images\/avt_s18_background_pattern.jpg","cover":"\/sites\/default\/files\/a_visit_to\/background_images\/avt_doc_S18_cover.jpg","dark_color":"0073b9","accent_color":"a92825","light_color":"c7d5ee","header_background":"\/sites\/default\/files\/a_visit_to\/background_images\/avt_s18_header.png","title":"The Doctor\u0026#039;s Office: A 4D Book","vuforia_device_database":"\/sites\/default\/files\/a_visit_to\/doctors_office\/targets\/a_visit_to_doctors_office.zip","id":"8799","author":"Blake A. Hoena","illustrator":"","series":"A Visit to...","series_id":"268"}]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a node with a title containing an apostrophe character.
2. Create a view containing a REST Export display.
3. Set the view format to "Fields."
4. Add the "Content:Title" field to the field list.
5. Preview the results of the view.
6. Observe that the apostrophe character is double encoded.
