Replace A
function escape(str) { const E = [ ['&', '&'], ['<', '<'], ['>', '>'], ["'", '''], ['"', '"'], ]; return (v) => E.reduce((r, e) => str.replaceAll(e[0], e[1]), v); } let i = 0; for (; i < 10000; i++) { escape(htmlStr); }
Replace B
function escape(str) { return str.replaceAll('&', '&') .replaceAll('<', '<') .replaceAll('>', '>') .replaceAll("'", ''') .replaceAll('"', '"'); return (v) => E.reduce((r, e) => str.replaceAll(e[0], e[1]), v); } let i = 0; for (; i < 10000; i++) { escape(htmlStr); }
