HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder

What is HTML Entity Encoding?

HTML entity encoding converts special characters (like <, >, &, ") into their corresponding HTML entity references (like <, >, &, ") so they render correctly in web pages.

Why Use Entity Encoding?

When inserting user-generated content or special characters into HTML, encoding prevents the browser from misinterpreting them as HTML tags or attributes, protecting against XSS attacks and rendering errors.
