Calculation Logic

  • Encode: Map <, >, &, ", and ' to their HTML entities (e.g., &lt;).
  • Decode: Reverse the mapping using built-in parsing or lookup tables.
  • Goal: Ensure content displays as text, not executable HTML/JS.

FAQ

Why do I need to encode HTML characters?

Browsers treat < as the start of a tag. Encoding it as &lt; forces safe text rendering and reduces XSS risk.

What characters are unsafe in HTML?

The big 5 are: <, >, &, double quotes, and single quotes—especially in user-generated content.

Is my data safe (local/privacy)?

Yes. Conversion runs locally with no uploads or server storage.

Is it free? Any limits?

It’s free and requires no sign-up. Paste and copy anytime.

Does entity encoding fully prevent XSS?

It’s a strong layer, but not a complete solution. Proper context-aware escaping and CSP are still required for full protection.
