entities
Encode & decode HTML & XML entities with ease & speed.
How to…
…install entities
npm install entities
…use entities
const entities = require("entities");

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

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 forentities
- @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 nowentities
is on top, but we'll see how long that lasts!
