XML Escape / Unescape

Escape special characters like <, >, and & into XML entities, or unescape them.

What is XML Escaping?

In XML and HTML architectures, certain characters maintain special meaning. The characters < and > define tags, & is used to start entities, and quotes are used for attributes. If these characters appear as plain data within an XML node, it breaks the parser! Escaping converts these structural characters into safe entities like &lt; and &amp;.
