What Are HTML Entities?
HTML entities represent characters that have special meaning in HTML markup — such as <, >, &, and quotation marks — using a code like < or & so they display literally instead of being interpreted as markup.
Common Uses
- Safely displaying code snippets or user-submitted text inside an HTML page without breaking the layout.
- Decoding entity-encoded text copied from an API response or HTML source to read it normally.
- Preventing basic HTML injection when embedding untrusted text into a web page.
