What is the current behavior? (You can also link to an open issue here)
I added minor improvements on the top of @nlemoine's PR #49. It was inspired by very good SO answer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/8218649/13962131 and we tested same change for several projects already where we need HTML processing.

So the problem is (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-encoding.php):

from 8.2.0 mb_convert_encoding() will no longer return the following non text encodings: "Base64", "QPrint", "UUencode", "HTML entities", "7 bit" and "8 bit".

What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?

The right way to do things is mb_encode_numericentity.

DOMDocument::loadHTML loads ISO-8859-1 by default. So for map argument, we choose:

• start_code - 128 (0x80). Anything above ISO-8859-1 that supports 0-127.
• end_code - I think using the maximum Unicode value U+10FFFF is better.
• offset - 0 as we don't need to change code
• mask - we don't need to change anything so that we can repeat the end_code value. But I like the idea of ~0 that produces the maximal byte for your system. i.e. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 for a 64bit system. It guarantees the mask never changes its actual value.

Regarding html_entity_decode, I think it's an important addition because we can leave HTML entities for HTML content, and the browser handles them as expected. But we don't want to break Unicode characters inside JS. So if the user has var title = 'Lösungen', changing to var = 'Lösungen' is not good.

Also, tests are added, including the character from the Unicode top plate - https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/character.jsp?a=2000B. I.e. 𠀋

Does this PR introduce a breaking change? (What changes might users need to make in their application due to this PR?)
No.

Thanks you @shvlv, this solves PHP 8.2 deprecations.

However, I stumbled upon another bug today. Here's the context.

I'm using Vite to build my assets (with a custom Vite loader). In dev mode, I have to include vite client to handle hot reload, etc.

The default URL for vite server is http://[::1]:5173/path/to/build/@vite/client. When this goes through DomDocument, the URL ends up encoded like so:

"http://%5B::1%5D:5173/path/to/build/@vite/client

html_entity_decode doesn't take effect here. I couldn't find a solution to this issue.

I was wondering if instead of DomDocument (which has a lot of quirks and can be heavy on memory) and since the only manipulations achieved here targets attributes, you could leverage the new Tag processor API introduced in 6.2?

Of course, that would mean a WP 6.2 requirement on the other hand.

6.3 also introduced native support for defer and async.

After internal discussion, the new approach with WordPress HTML API was implemented. The following points should be discussed additionally:

1. Do we consider the current change as a breaking change, or will triggering deprecation be enough?
2. We need integration tests for this change. I added database-less tests as PoC. Maybe we can consider a different approach here.

Quick note: from 6.5, there is now a wp_enqueue_script_module function.
