❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is HTML entity encoding important for web security?
HTML entity encoding converts potentially dangerous executable characters (like <, >, &, and quotes) into inert text representations (<, >, &), preventing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) code injection.
What characters are escaped in Basic HTML/XML mode?
Basic mode converts the 5 mandatory XML/HTML special characters: ampersand (&), less-than (<), greater-than (>), double quotes ("), and single quotes (').
Is my text data processed on external servers?
No. All entity encoding, decoding, string replacements, and file downloads operate 100% locally inside your web browser.
