xmlunidefuse

Encode the predefined XML entities (amp, lt, gt, apos, quot) and some additional, easily overlooked Unicode characters. Opt-out CharRef 39 for HTML (Why?).

Usage

From test.js:

1var xud = require("xmlunidefuse"), eq = require("assert").strictEqual,
2  raw = "<​!-- <u snow=\"man'>☃</u -->";
3
4eq(xud(raw),        //  HTML compat mode:    v..
5  "&lt;&#x200B;!-- &lt;u&#xA0;snow=&quot;man&#39;&gt;☃&lt;/u&#x205F;--&gt;");
6
7eq(xud.apos(raw),   //  apos opt-in:         v...
8  "&lt;&#x200B;!-- &lt;u&#xA0;snow=&quot;man&apos;&gt;☃&lt;/u&#x205F;--&gt;");
9
10//  CDATA mode is implemented but not recommended,
11//  because it makes the sneaky chars VERY visible.
12eq(xud.cdata(raw),
13  '<![CDATA[<]]>&#x200B;<![CDATA[!-- <u]]>&#xA0;<![CDATA[snow="ma' +
14  "n'>☃</u]]>&#x205F;<![CDATA[-->]]>");
