Is there js function that replace xml Special Character with their escape sequence?

I have used this:

function htmlSpecialChars(unsafe) {
    return unsafe
    .replace(/&/g, "&amp;")
    .replace(/</g, "&lt;")
    .replace(/>/g, "&gt;")
    .replace(/"/g, "&quot;")
    .replace(/'/g, "&apos;");
}

There's an interesting JS library here: Client side HTML encoding and decoding

You could use PHP's htmlspecialchars from the PHPJS project.
