Encode special characters into HTML entities or decode entities back into clean characters.
The HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder converts reserved HTML markup characters into their corresponding named or numeric entity representations, and decodes escaped HTML strings back into readable raw text. This prevents browser rendering collisions and assists developers in preparing code snippets for web display.
Accepts arbitrary text strings, code snippets, or HTML markup in UTF-8 format. Handles both named entities (&, <, >) and decimal/hexadecimal numeric entities (&, &).
Outputs the escaped HTML entity string or decoded raw text with instant copy-to-clipboard functionality.
Input: <a href="https://example.com">Click & Visit</a>
Operation: Click 'Encode'. The script replaces '<' with '<', '>' with '>', '&' with '&', and double quotes with '"'.
Output: <a href="https://example.com">Click & Visit</a>
String replacement occurs entirely within browser JavaScript using standard DOM and regex functions. Text is never sent across the internet.
Only standard HTML5 entities are recognized. Custom XML entity definitions outside standard web specifications require XML schema parsers.
Characters like '<', '>', and '&' are reserved in HTML for markup tags. If you want a browser to display them as literal text instead of executing them as tags, they must be encoded as entities.
Yes. The decoder parses both named entities (<) and numeric entities (< or <) into raw characters.
Yes. The tool operates on arbitrary text lengths directly in browser memory without size limits imposed by server payloads.
