HTML Entity Encoder

Escape HTML-sensitive characters into entity form when you need safer display in markup-heavy contexts.

Important Use Notice

Browser-side developer helper only. Verify output against a real environment, and do not paste secrets, regulated personal data, private keys, tokens, or confidential client material unless you have permission and an approved workflow.
