Package description
The character-entities npm package provides a comprehensive list of character entity references (like & for an ampersand or < for a less-than sign) that can be used in HTML and XML. This package is particularly useful for encoding or decoding character entities in text processing, ensuring that special characters are correctly represented in web pages or XML documents.
Accessing Character Entities
This feature allows you to access the character entity for special characters like ampersand (&) and less-than (<) sign. The code sample demonstrates how to import the package and retrieve the character entities for ampersand and less-than sign.
"use strict";
const characterEntities = require('character-entities');
console.log(characterEntities.amp); // Output: '&'
console.log(characterEntities.lt); // Output: '<'The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder written in JavaScript. Unlike character-entities, which primarily provides a list of character entities, 'he' offers functions to encode and decode HTML entities, making it more versatile for handling HTML content.
Similar to 'he', the 'entities' package offers encoding and decoding functionalities for HTML entities. It supports a wide range of entities and provides more comprehensive parsing and serialization options compared to character-entities, which is more focused on providing a list of entities.
