What is character-reference-invalid?

The character-reference-invalid npm package provides utilities for handling invalid character references in HTML and XML documents. It is primarily used to encode and decode invalid characters to ensure that text is safely and correctly processed in web applications and other environments that handle HTML/XML content.

What are character-reference-invalid's main functionalities?

Decoding invalid character references

This feature allows the decoding of invalid character references into their respective Unicode representations, which is useful for processing or sanitizing input data in web applications.

const cri = require('character-reference-invalid');
console.log(cri.decode('�')); // Outputs: \\uD800

Encoding characters to invalid references
