About HTML Encoder / Decoder
HTML encoding converts HTML special characters and tags into HTML entities that can be safely displayed in web browsers without being interpreted as actual HTML markup. This tool transforms characters like <, >, &, and quotes into their corresponding HTML entities (<, >, &, etc.) and can also decode these entities back to their original characters.
Why use a HTML Encoder / Decoder?
HTML encoding is crucial for preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks and ensuring that HTML code displays correctly as text rather than being executed by the browser. It allows you to safely display user-generated content, code examples, or HTML snippets on web pages without compromising security or breaking the page layout.
Who is it for?
Web developers, content management system developers, security professionals, and technical writers who need to display HTML code safely on web pages will find this tool essential. It's particularly valuable for developers building forums, documentation sites, code sharing platforms, or any application that handles user-generated content.
