After entering text, choose the encoding direction: encode (convert < >&, etc. to entities) or decode (convert entities back to characters). Supports the HTML4 and HTML5 entity specifications and can handle named entities (for example) and digital entities (for example or).
The encoding process iterates over each character in the text, checking to see if it is in the character set that needs to be escaped, and if so, replacing it with the corresponding entity. Decoding uses regular matching to match all entity patterns, and a lookup table replaces them with the original characters. Supports format conversion such as URL encoding and Base 64 encoding.
