HTML entities are codes that represent characters reserved by HTML. Encoding prevents XSS attacks and rendering bugs when inserting user content into web pages.
Raw angle brackets allow script injection. Encoding converts them to harmless entity codes that browsers display but never execute.
All conversion happens in your browser using the DOM's built-in parser — no data is sent to any server.
Our built-in cheat sheet lists the most common HTML entities for quick lookup without memorizing numeric codes.
