## What is this?
This is a map of named character references in HTML (latest) to the characters
they represent.
## When should I use this?
Maybe when youre writing an HTML parser or minifier, but otherwise probably
never!
Even then, it might be better to use [`parse-entities`][parse-entities] or
[`stringify-entities`][stringify-entities].
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, 18.0+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install character-entities
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {characterEntities} from 'https://esm.sh/character-entities@2'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {characterEntities} from 'https://esm.sh/character-entities@2?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
```js
import {characterEntities} from 'character-entities'
console.log(characterEntities.AElig) // => 'Æ'
console.log(characterEntities.aelig) // => 'æ'
console.log(characterEntities.amp) // => '&'
```
## API
This package exports the identifier `characterEntities`.
There is no default export.
### characterEntities
Mapping between (case-sensitive) character entity names to replacements.
See [`html.spec.whatwg.org`][html] for more info.
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
## Compatibility
This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, 16.0+, and 18.0+.
It also works in Deno and modern browsers.
## Security
This package is safe.
