Understanding HTML Encoding
HTML encoding ensures that the browser treats specific characters as literal text rather than functional code. This is vital for security and for displaying code examples on technical blogs.
What is XSS Protection?
By encoding characters like < and >, you prevent malicious scripts from being executed in a user's browser, a core step in preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
Common Entities
The standard set includes & (&), < (<), > (>), and " (").
Privacy Guaranteed
As with all Rebrixe tools, your data never leaves your computer. All encoding and decoding happen locally in your browser's memory.
