HTML Encoding and Decoding Basics

What is HTML Encoding

HTML encoding is the process of converting special characters into HTML entities, which start with & and end with a semicolon (;). HTML entities are used to display special characters in web pages that might otherwise be interpreted as HTML code by browsers.

For example, the character "<" is encoded as &lt;, and the character "&" is encoded as &amp;.

The Role of HTML Encoding

  • Prevent Code Injection

    Avoid user input content being interpreted as HTML code by browsers

  • Display Special Characters

    Correctly display characters with special meaning in HTML

  • Cross-platform Compatibility

    Ensure consistent display across different platforms and browsers

  • Protect Data Security

    Prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks in web applications

Types of HTML Entities

Named Entities

Entities represented by names, such as &lt; for "<", and &gt; for ">"

Numeric Entities

Entities represented by numbers, such as &#60; for "<", and &#62; for ">"

Numeric entities are further divided into decimal entities (such as &#60;) and hexadecimal entities (such as &#x3C;).
