Frequently asked questions
What does HTML encoding do?
HTML encoding converts characters such as angle brackets and ampersands into HTML entities so they can be displayed safely.
When should I decode HTML entities?
Decode them when you need to inspect or reuse the original readable text.
Is this the same as URL encoding?
No. URL encoding is for URLs and query strings, while HTML encoding is for markup-safe text.
Can this help prevent broken markup?
Yes. Encoding special characters helps prevent unintended HTML interpretation.
Does this work with API payload text?
Yes. It is useful when payloads include HTML-escaped strings.
