What is an HTML Entity Encoder?

An HTML Entity Encoder is a tool that converts characters that have special meaning in HTML (like `<`, `>`, and `&`) into their corresponding HTML entities. This ensures that these characters are displayed as text in a browser, rather than being interpreted as HTML code.

Why Use Our HTML Entity Encoder?

  • Displaying Code Snippets: To show HTML code on a web page without the browser trying to render it.
  • Preventing XSS Attacks: To sanitize user input by encoding potentially malicious characters, which is a key part of preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
  • Data Integrity: To ensure that text is displayed correctly in an HTML document, especially when it contains special characters.
  • Web Development: To quickly and easily encode text for use in web pages, saving time and preventing errors.
