What is HTML Escaping?

HTML escaping converts special characters into safe HTML entities.

This prevents browsers from interpreting the character as HTML code.

HTML escaping is important for:

  • Security

  • User-generated content
  • Safe rendering
  • HTML templates
  • Web applications

Common HTML Entities

Examples:

&gt;
&amp;
&quot;
&#39;

These represent:

What is HTML Unescaping?

HTML unescaping converts entities back into readable characters.

Example:

&lt;div&gt;

becomes:

<div>
