entities

Encode & decode HTML & XML entities with ease & speed.

How to…

…install entities

npm install entities

…use entities

const entities = require("entities");

//encoding
entities.escape("&"); // "&"
entities.encodeXML("&"); // "&"
entities.encodeHTML("&"); // "&"

//decoding
entities.decodeXML("asdf & ÿ ü '"); // "asdf & ÿ ü '"
entities.decodeHTML("asdf & ÿ ü '"); // "asdf & ÿ ü '"

Performance

This is how entities compares to other libraries on a very basic benchmark (see scripts/benchmark.ts, for 10,000,000 iterations):

Library	decode perf	encode perf	escape perf	Bundle size
entities	1.418s	6.786s	2.196s
html-entities	2.530s	6.829s	2.415s
he	5.800s	24.237s	3.624s
parse-entities	9.660s	N/A	N/A

Acknowledgements

This libary wouldn't be possible without the work of these individuals. Thanks to

• @mathiasbynens for his explanations about character encodings, and his library he, which was one of the inspirations for entities
• @inikulin for his work on optimized tries for decoding HTML entities for the parse5 project
• @mdevils for taking on the challenge of producing a quick entity library with his html-entities library. entities would be quite a bit slower if there wasn't any competition. Right now entities is on top, but we'll see how long that lasts!
