HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder
Safely convert special characters (like <, >, &) into their corresponding HTML entities to prevent rendering issues, or decode them back to plain text instantly.
Helpful Information
HTML entities are strings that begin with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;). They are used to display reserved characters (which would otherwise be interpreted as HTML code) and invisible characters (like non-breaking spaces).
Encoding characters like < and > is a crucial security practice. It prevents “Cross-Site Scripting” (XSS) attacks by ensuring the browser treats the input as literal text rather than executable code.
