Essential for web developers embedding user content in HTML, preventing XSS attacks, or displaying code examples in web pages.

What characters are encoded?

The main characters encoded are < > & " ' and other special characters that have HTML entity equivalents.

Encoding prevents browsers from interpreting special characters as HTML markup, which is important for security and correct display.
