Native wordpress import/export does not work #11466

Hello,

as the title says, the native wordpress import/export does not work for pages created by elementor. Am I missing something. Isn't elementor supposed to be compatible with the native wordpress builder?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a page with elementor
  2. Tools > Export the full site/content
  3. Import to another domain/wordpress install using the native wordpress importer (Tools > Import)
  4. Layout is broken

I searched for similar issues but could not find any help. This has been tested on a fresh install with no plugins and the default theme.

EDIT
There is something wrong with the _elementor_data meta field.

On the export file the elementor_data field is the following:
[{"id":"cf381fa","elType":"section","settings":{"structure":"20"},"elements": ....

After the import on a new site it has backslashes on it:
[{\"id\":\"cf381fa\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":{\"structure\":\"20\"},\"elements\":

Thats the reason why it is not displaying the elementor structure of the page. How to solve that. Am I missing something?
