Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I encode HTML characters?
Encoding reserved symbols allows them to be displayed as literal text rather than interpreted as markup.

Does decoding HTML make it safe to execute?
No. Decoded content is just text; treat untrusted HTML as unsafe until properly sanitized.
