# entities [](https://travis-ci.org/p-jackson/entities) [](https://crates.io/crates/entities)
Provides the raw data needed to convert to and from HTML entities.
## Basic Usage
```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
}
```
