Questions & Answers
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).
By encoding characters like < and > into < and >, you ensure the browser treats the input as literal text rather than executable tags, effectively neutralizing many common script-injection attacks.
