The html-escaper npm package is designed to escape and unescape HTML entities. It is useful for preventing XSS attacks by sanitizing user input or for properly displaying text that includes characters that are reserved in HTML.
Escape HTML
Escapes HTML entities to prevent execution of potentially harmful scripts and to display HTML tags as plain text.

const escapedString = escape('<div>Hello & Welcome!</div>');
console.log(escapedString); // <div>Hello & Welcome!</div>Unescape HTML
Unescapes HTML entities to convert them back to their original characters, which is useful for rendering text that was previously escaped.
const { unescape } = require('html-escaper');
const unescapedString = unescape('<div>Hello & Welcome!</div>');
console.log(unescapedString); // <div>Hello & Welcome!</div>The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder written in JavaScript. It supports all named character references defined in HTML, handling even obscure and rare entities. It is more comprehensive than html-escaper but might be larger in size.
The 'escape-html' package is a simple and fast utility for escaping HTML entities. It is smaller and more lightweight than html-escaper, but it only provides the escaping functionality and does not include unescaping.
The 'entities' package is another library for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It supports a wide range of character entities and offers both escaping and unescaping functionalities, similar to html-escaper, but with additional options for handling different document types.
