What is an HTML Encoder?

An HTML Encoder is a tool that converts special characters in text into HTML entities. This prevents issues like broken HTML or unintended code execution. For example, encoding <script>alert('XSS')</script> turns it into:

<script>alert('XSS')</script>

This ensures that the text is displayed as-is rather than being interpreted as code.

How Does This Work?

1. User Input:

• The user enters text that may contain special characters (< > & " ', etc.).

1. Encoding Process:

• The tool replaces special characters with HTML entity codes using JavaScript.
• Example conversions:
  
  • < → <
  • > → >
  • & → &
  • " → "
  • ' → '

1. Output:

• The encoded text appears in a read-only textarea.
• The user can copy the encoded text for use in HTML, preventing unintended rendering.

This is useful for preventing XSS attacks, preserving formatting, and ensuring safe text display on web pages. 🚀
