๐ŸŽฏ What is HTML Encoding and Decoding?

HTML encoding (also called HTML entity encoding) is the process of converting special characters into their corresponding HTML entities. This prevents browsers from interpreting these characters as HTML code and ensures they display correctly as plain text. HTML decoding reverses this process, converting HTML entities back into their original characters.

๐ŸŽ“ Understanding HTML Entity Types

Named Entities: Use descriptive names like &lt;, &gt;, &amp;. These are easy to read and remember but not all characters have named entities.

Numeric Entities (Decimal): Use decimal numbers like &#60;, &#62;, &#38;. These work for all Unicode characters and are universally supported.

Hexadecimal Entities: Use hex numbers like &#x3C;, &#x3E;, &#x26;. These are compact and preferred by some developers.
