Frequently asked questions

Why encode HTML entities?

So browsers display code as text instead of parsing it: &lt;div&gt; shows literally, while <div> would render as a tag.

Which characters are escaped?

The critical five: & < > " ' — enough to safely embed snippets into HTML.

Does decoding handle numeric entities?

Yes — named (&#38;amp;), decimal (&#38;#38;) and hex (&#38;#x26;) entities all decode correctly.
