Provides the raw data needed to convert to and from HTML entities.
```rust extern crate entities; use entities::ENTITIES;
fn main() { let entity = ENTITIES .iter() .find(|e| e.entity == ">") .unwrap();
assert_eq!(entity.characters, ">");
assert_eq!(entity.entity, ">");
} ```
There isn't a 1-to-1 mapping of entities to "characters" which is why this crate provides a flat array rather than a map—the best way to map the entities depends on the problem you're trying to solve.
If you want to create a mapping structure you can make one using static str
slices to reuse the statically allocated strings from this crate e.g.
rust
fn make_mapping() -> HashMap<&'static str, &'static str> {
let mut mapping = HashMap::new();
mapping.insert(ENTITIES[0].entity, ENTITIES[0].characters);
mapping
}
I expect this crate will reach version 1.0 pretty quickly after I've tried the API out in an app.
