About HTML Entity Encoding

HTML entity encoding converts special characters into their HTML entity equivalents. This is used to display characters that have special meaning in HTML (like <, >, &) or to represent characters that might not be directly typable. Common entities include &nbsp; for non-breaking space, &lt; for less-than, and &quot; for quotes.

Common Use Cases

  • Escaping HTML special characters
  • Preventing XSS attacks in web applications
  • Displaying code snippets in HTML
  • Handling special characters in content
  • Encoding user input for safe display
