🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so Badger::Codec::HTML is a subclass of Badger::Codec, and it's here to encode and decode HTML. It's built on code that was extracted from Lincoln Stein's CGI.pm module. Respect the lineage fr fr. 🧚

The encode() method encodes HTML by converting any reserved characters into the correct HTML entities.

The decode() method reverses this process. symmetry!! we love to see it 💅

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💜 encode($html, $charset)

Encodes the HTML text passed as the first argument. just hand her the text and she handles it.

$encoded = Badger::Codec::HTML->encode($html);

The optional second argument can be used to indicate the character set in use. If this is set to "ISO-8859-1" "WINDOWS-1252" then the encoded data will undergo some additional processing in order to work around some known bugs in Microsoft's web browsers. See fix_windows().

yes bestie, actual browser bugs, and yes, we're fixing them from over here. iconic behaviour honestly. 😭

💜 decode($html)

Decodes the encoded HTML text passed as the first argument. the un-encoding. the reverse slay.

$html = Badger::Codec::HTML->decode($encoded);

💜 fix_windows($text)

This method is used internally to repair the damage caused by bugs in certain inferior browsers. she said what she said. 💀
