HTML Entity Encode/Decoder

Tool Description

HTML Entity Encoding is the process of converting reserved characters in HTML into 'entity' representations. This is crucial for correctly displaying the HTML source code itself on a webpage, rather than having the browser render it as tags. It is also a fundamental security measure to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

  • Encode (Encode): Convert character <, >, &, ", ' etc., into corresponding HTML entities, such as &lt;, &gt;, &amp;, &quot;, &#39;
  • Decode (Decode): Convert HTML entity strings (such as &lt;p&gt;)back to original HTML characters (such as <p>)。
  • Secure and Reliable: This tool uses the browser's built-in DOM parser for encoding and decoding, which is the safest and most standard method, correctly handling all characters without relying on external libraries.
