What is HTML Encoding?

HTML encoding converts special characters to their HTML entity equivalents. This is useful when you need to display HTML content as text without the browser rendering it as HTML.

For example:

  • < becomes &lt;
  • > becomes &gt;
  • & becomes &amp;
  • " becomes &quot;
  • ' becomes &#39;

Common use cases include:

  • Displaying code snippets on websites
  • Preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks
  • Ensuring HTML is displayed as text rather than rendered by the browser
  • Processing user input that may contain HTML for safe display
