HTML Entity Encoder

Convert special characters to HTML entities and vice versa

What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are codes used to display reserved characters (like <, >, &) and invisible characters (like non-breaking spaces) in HTML. They ensure that the browser interprets the characters as text rather than code.

Why use HTML Encoding?

  • Prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks by sanitizing user input.
  • Display reserved characters correctly in web pages.
  • Ensure special characters (like copyright symbols) render consistently across browsers.
