Mastering HTML Encoding for Web Security

HTML encoding is a fundamental security practice used to convert plain text into a format that is safe to display in an HTML document. By converting characters like < and > into < and >, you prevent the browser from interpreting them as actual code, effectively neutralizing Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) threats.
