HtmlSpecialChars equivalent in Javascript?

Question

Apparently, this is harder to find than I thought it would be. And it even is so simple...

Is there a function equivalent to PHP\'s htmlspecialchars built into Javas

Answer 1

Reversed one:

function decodeHtml(text) {
    return text
        .replace(/&/g, '&')
        .replace(/</ , '<')
        .replace(/>/, '>')
        .replace(/"/g,'"')
        .replace(/'/g,"'");
}
