About HTML Decoding

HTML decoding converts HTML entities back to their original characters. This is useful when you have encoded HTML that needs to be displayed or processed as regular text.

Common use cases:

  • Displaying user-generated content that was encoded for security
  • Processing HTML content from APIs or databases
  • Debugging encoded HTML content
  • Converting encoded text for display in applications

How it works:

  • Converts named entities like &lt; to <
  • Converts numeric entities like &#34; to "
  • Converts hexadecimal entities like &#x22; to "
  • Handles all standard HTML entities and special characters
