lodash.escape
Advanced tools
The lodash.escape package is a utility library that provides a function to escape characters for inclusion in HTML. This is particularly useful for preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks by ensuring that special characters are converted to their corresponding HTML entities.
HTML Character Escaping
This feature allows you to escape special characters in a string to their corresponding HTML entities. This is useful for safely rendering user input in HTML.
const _ = require('lodash.escape');
const escapedString = _.escape('<script>alert("XSS")</script>');
console.log(escapedString); // Output: <script>alert("XSS")</script>
The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder. It supports both encoding and decoding of HTML entities, and it can handle a wider range of entities compared to lodash.escape. It is also highly configurable, allowing for fine-tuned control over the encoding/decoding process.
The 'html-entities' package provides utilities for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It supports both named and numeric entities and offers methods for encoding and decoding strings. It is more feature-rich compared to lodash.escape, offering more control over the encoding process.
The 'escape-html' package is a simple utility for escaping HTML characters. It is similar to lodash.escape in terms of functionality but is a more lightweight and focused solution specifically for escaping HTML.

exported as a Node.js module.
Using npm:
