Why Encode HTML Entities?

HTML encoding is a crucial security practice that transforms potentially harmful characters into their safe "entity" equivalents. For example, the less-than symbol < is converted to &lt;. This prevents the browser from interpreting the characters as actual HTML tags, which is the foundation of preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

When to Encode

  • Displaying source code samples on a blog.
  • Rendering user-submitted content in templates.
  • Saving data that contains symbols like & or " into database strings destined for HTML.

Common Entities

< : &lt;
> : &gt;
& : &amp;
" : &quot;
' : &apos;
© : &copy;

Total Privacy, Guaranteed.

Unlike many online encoders, we use the browser's native DOM API to handle encoding. Your text is never transmitted over the internet, keeping your proprietary code and sensitive data 100% private.
