Supply Chain Attack Detected in Solana's web3.js Library
A supply chain attack has been detected in versions 1.95.6 and 1.95.7 of the popular @solana/web3.js library.
The 'ent' npm package is used for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It provides a simple way to convert special characters to their corresponding HTML entities and vice versa.
Encoding HTML Entities
This feature allows you to encode special characters in a string to their corresponding HTML entities. This is useful for safely displaying user-generated content on a web page.
const ent = require('ent');
const encoded = ent.encode('<div>Hello & welcome!</div>');
console.log(encoded); // Output: <div>Hello & welcome!</div>
Decoding HTML Entities
This feature allows you to decode HTML entities back to their original characters. This is useful for processing HTML content that has been encoded.
const ent = require('ent');
const decoded = ent.decode('<div>Hello & welcome!</div>');
console.log(decoded); // Output: <div>Hello & welcome!</div>
The 'he' package is another popular library for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It is known for its compliance with the HTML5 specification and its ability to handle a wide range of character sets. Compared to 'ent', 'he' offers more comprehensive support for different types of entities and edge cases.
The 'html-entities' package provides similar functionality for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It supports both XML and HTML4/5 entities and offers methods for encoding and decoding both named and numeric entities. Compared to 'ent', 'html-entities' provides more flexibility in terms of the types of entities it can handle.
Encode and decode HTML entities
var ent = require('ent');
console.log(ent.encode('<span>©moo</span>'))
console.log(ent.decode('π & ρ'));
<span>©moo</span>
π & ρ
var ent = require('ent');
var encode = require('ent/encode');
var decode = require('ent/decode');
Escape unsafe characters in str
with html entities.
By default, entities are encoded with numeric decimal codes.
If opts.numeric
is false or opts.named
is true, encoding will used named
codes like π
.
If opts.special
is set to an Object, the key names will be forced
to be encoded (defaults to forcing: <>'"&
). For example:
console.log(encode('hello', { special: { l: true } }));
hello
Convert html entities in str
back to raw text.
HTML entity tables are from the official
entities.json
file for
the whatwg HTML
specification.
With npm do:
