About Encoding & Decoding

Encoding transforms data from one format to another for safe transport across systems. Base64 converts binary data to ASCII text for embedding in JSON, emails, and data URIs. URL encoding (percent-encoding) escapes special characters so they can be safely included in URLs and query strings. JWT decoding reveals the header and payload of JSON Web Tokens used for authentication. HTML entity encoding converts characters like < and > to their entity equivalents, preventing XSS attacks and display issues. These are essential daily tools for web developers, backend engineers, and security professionals.
