About this tool

Escaping turns characters with special meaning in HTML into entities so they display as text instead of being interpreted as markup — essential when showing code samples or user input.

FAQ

Is my data sent to a server?

No. DevKnife tools run entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste — API keys, tokens, customer data — is transmitted or logged, so it is safe for production data.
