Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
XML escaping is the process of replacing the five XML predefined special characters — ampersand (&), less-than (<), greater-than (>), double quote ("), and apostrophe (') — with their corresponding entity references (&, <, >, ", '). This ensures the characters are treated as literal text rather than XML markup.
HTML and XML escaping are very similar but have a key difference: XML uses ' for single quotes, while HTML uses '. Additionally, XML is stricter — all five entities must be escaped in attribute values and text content. HTML parsers are more lenient. This tool uses the XML-standard entity references.
You should escape XML content whenever you embed dynamic or user-supplied text inside XML elements or attributes. This includes SOAP messages, RSS/Atom feeds, SVG files, configuration files (like pom.xml or web.xml), and any XML-based data interchange format.
Yes. Unescaped XML can lead to XML injection attacks, where malicious content alters the structure of an XML document. In severe cases, this can enable XML External Entity (XXE) attacks that read local files or make server-side requests. Always escape user input before embedding it in XML.
No. Fuhut runs 100% client-side. All XML escaping happens entirely inside your web browser using local JavaScript. Your input is never uploaded, stored, or processed on any external server.
