HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder

Encode or Decode HTML Entities

How to Use

1. Paste or type the text or HTML entities you want to process into the "Input" area.
2. Click "Encode to Entities" to convert special characters (like `<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`) into their HTML entity equivalents.
3. Click "Decode Entities" to convert HTML entities (like `<`, `&`) back into their original characters.
4. The result will appear in the "Output" area.
5. Click "Copy Output" to copy the result.

Why Encode/Decode HTML Entities?

• Displaying Code: Encode HTML/XML tags to display them as literal text on a web page instead of being interpreted by the browser.
• Preventing XSS: Encoding user input before displaying it can help prevent Cross-Site Scripting attacks (though server-side validation is crucial).
• Character Representation: Use entities to represent characters that are difficult or impossible to type directly (e.g., `©` for ©).
• Decoding Data: Convert entity-encoded text back to its original form for processing or display.
