HTML Encoding / Escaping
HTML encoding converts special characters to their HTML entity equivalents. The characters < > & " ' have special meaning in HTML â if you include them in content without encoding, they'll be interpreted as HTML tags or attributes, potentially causing display issues or XSS vulnerabilities.
When to HTML Encode
Whenever you're inserting user-generated content into an HTML page, you must HTML-encode it to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This tool is also useful for displaying code snippets in HTML, generating safe HTML for email templates, and creating properly escaped content for CMS systems.
