What are ent's main functionalities?

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: &lt;div&gt;Hello &amp; welcome!&lt;/div&gt;

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('&lt;div&gt;Hello &amp; welcome!&lt;/div&gt;');
console.log(decoded); // Output: <div>Hello & welcome!</div>
