## 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 you’re 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.
