The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder written in JavaScript. Unlike escape-html, which primarily focuses on escaping strings for safe HTML insertion, 'he' offers more comprehensive functionalities including the ability to decode HTML entities back to their original form. This makes 'he' more versatile for handling HTML entities in various contexts.
While escape-html is focused on escaping strings to prevent XSS attacks, 'sanitize-html' goes a step further by allowing detailed configuration of what HTML tags and attributes are allowed. It can remove or sanitize HTML to a whitelist of allowed elements and attributes, making it a more comprehensive solution for sanitizing HTML content beyond just escaping entities.
