Encoding in the browser

Html escape in your browser. No server. Safe for quick encode/decode tasks. Pair with JSON tools when needed.

All processing stays in your browser. Paste production-shaped samples without uploading secrets.

When to use this

Escaping prevents injection when data is embedded in HTML, XML, SQL, or JS contexts.

Common mistakes

Double-escaping or mixing encoding layers (HTML inside JSON inside HTML).

Using the wrong escape set for your context (SQL vs HTML vs JS).

Trusting client-side escaping alone for security—always encode on the server too.

Pro tips

Test with edge cases: unicode, quotes, null bytes in filenames.
