I do not have HTML content in it, but regular string which has text like

 <some data>, <some text>

it is being saved as some data&gt;

How do I save it exactly like this <some data>. I need to use this data somewhere else where it should match exactly like this, but its already encoded. I have already tried using entity_encoding: 'raw' and encoding: 'xml'. But they still end up encoding before saving. Thanks.

Those characters have to be encoded when part of HTML since the < and > have special meaning in HTML.

There are a variety of characters that have to be encoded per the specification and these are two of them.
