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.
