This feature allows you to decode HTML entities in a string. For example, it converts '&' to '&'.
const decodeString = require('micromark-util-decode-string');
const decoded = decodeString('Hello & World');
console.log(decoded); // 'Hello & World'

The 'he' package is a robust HTML entity encoder/decoder. It supports both encoding and decoding of HTML entities, including named, numeric, and hexadecimal references. Compared to micromark-util-decode-string, 'he' offers more comprehensive functionality for both encoding and decoding.
The 'entities' package provides fast and robust encoding and decoding of XML and HTML entities. It supports both named and numeric entities. While micromark-util-decode-string focuses on decoding, 'entities' offers both encoding and decoding capabilities.
The 'html-entities' package is another library for encoding and decoding HTML entities. It supports named, numeric, and hexadecimal entities. Similar to micromark-util-decode-string, it provides decoding functionality but also includes encoding features.
