About HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder
HTML Entity Encoder & Decoder is intended for a specific, repeatable task rather than a general-purpose editor. Encode reserved HTML characters or decode named and numeric HTML entities. The result changes when the source data or selected options change, so it is easy to run a second comparison.
It can help when you need to inspect a small representative sample before applying the same change in a production workflow. Start with a representative input, inspect the first result, then adjust one setting at a time if you need a different outcome.
Processing stays in the browser where the individual feature supports it. Live public checks use a protected, rate-limited site endpoint; avoid unnecessary sensitive data.
