HTML Encoder/Decoder

What is an HTML Encoder/Decoder?

An HTML Encoder/Decoder is a web development tool that converts special characters and symbols to HTML entities (encoding) and converts HTML entities back to their original characters (decoding). HTML encoding is essential for web security, preventing XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks, and ensuring that special characters display correctly in HTML documents. This tool helps developers safely handle user-generated content, encode data for secure transmission, and decode HTML entities when processing web content. Whether you're securing forms, processing HTML content, or working with special characters, this tool provides accurate encoding and decoding.
