What Is HTML Encoding?

HTML encoding is the process of replacing reserved HTML characters with their corresponding HTML entities. This prevents browsers from interpreting the content as actual HTML code and instead displays it as plain text.

For example, the less-than symbol (<) becomes &lt;, while the greater-than symbol (>) becomes &gt;.

Why Use HTML Encoding?

HTML encoding is essential when displaying source code, user-generated content or markup examples on websites. It prevents HTML from being executed or rendered by the browser, ensuring the original code remains visible and safe.

It also helps reduce rendering issues and supports secure output handling in many web applications.
