|
Encode & decode HTML & XML entities with ease & speed.
|
|
|
|
## How to…
|
|
|
|
### …install `entities`
|
|
|
|
npm install entities
|
|
|
|
### …use `entities`
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
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](https://github.com/mathiasbynens) for his explanations
|
|
about character encodings, and his library `he`, which was one of the
|
|
inspirations for `entities`
|
|
- [@inikulin](https://github.com/inikulin) for his work on optimized tries for
|
|
decoding HTML entities for the `parse5` project
|
|
- [@mdevils](https://github.com/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!
