xml-escape

Escape XML in javascript (NodeJS)

npm install xml-escape

// Warning escape is a reserved word, so maybe best to use xmlescape for var name
var xmlescape = require('xml-escape');
 
xmlescape('"hello" \'world\' & false < true > -1');
 
// output
// '&quot;hello&quot; &apos;world&apos; &amp; false &lt; true &gt; -1'
 
// don't escape some characters
xmlescape('"hello" \'world\' & false < true > -1', '>"&')
 
// output
// '"hello" &apos;world&apos; & false &lt; true > -1'

There is also now an ignore function thanks to @jayflo

esc = require('./');
 
ignore = '"<&'
// note you should never ignore an &
output = esc('I am "<&not>" escaped', ignore)
console.log(output)
 
//I am "<&not&gt;" escaped
