Technical Architecture & Execution Mechanics
HTML Entity Character Reference Encoding
HTML entities represent reserved characters in HTML syntax. The parser maps reserved ASCII characters to named references (e.g. & -> &, < -> <, > -> >).
Encoded = String.replace(/[&<>"']/g, char => EntityMap[char])Technical Limitations & Operational Constraints
- Standard entity encoding protects against HTML body injection; attribute contexts may require attribute escaping.
