Safe Coding with HTML Entities

Sanitize and secure. The HTML Entities tool at Online Tool Base encodes reserved characters into their HTML-safe entity equivalents, treating special symbols as text rather than code.

Web Security Essentials

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a major threat. If you allow users to input characters like < or >, they could inject malicious scripts. onlinetoolbase.online helps you prevent this by converting these characters into safe entities like &lt; and &gt;.

Encoder & Decoder

This tool works both ways:

  • Encode: Turns "© 2024" into "&copy; 2024". Essential for displaying code snippets on a webpage.
  • Decode: Reverts entities back to readable text. Useful for scraping or reading raw HTML source code.
  • Full Support: Handles standard XML and HTML5 named entities.

Developer Workflow

Don't jeopardize your layout. Use this tool to escape special characters in your content management system or when preparing strings for database storage. It ensures your text renders exactly as intended on every browser.
