Frequently asked questions
Why do I need an HTML encoder?
It prevents browsers from interpreting text as markup, which is especially important when embedding user content in templates or UI labels.
How is HTML encoding different from formatting?
Formatting organizes markup for readability, while encoding transforms dangerous or special characters into safe entity text.
Does HTML encoding protect scripts?
It helps prevent markup interpretation, but it should be paired with safe handling and validation when processing user input in applications.
