자주 묻는 질문

Why are HTML entities needed?

Characters like < and > have special meaning in HTML. Encoding them as < and > prevents browser parsing issues and security vulnerabilities.

What characters should be encoded?

At minimum: < (<), > (>), & (&), and quotes. This prevents HTML injection and displays characters correctly.

Is this the same as URL encoding?

No, HTML entities use &name; or &#number; format, while URL encoding uses %XX format. Use the right encoder for each context.
