Text Escape / Unescape FAQ

Which formats can I escape and unescape with this tool?

You can process JSON strings, HTML entities, XML entities, URL encoding, SQL string literals, and regex-special characters in both escape and unescape directions.

How does this differ from a basic URL or HTML encoder?

It combines multiple escape standards in one workspace, supports direction switching, and includes format-specific options like URL plus handling and SQL quote wrapping.

Does large text stay fast and private?

Yes. Processing stays in your browser, and inputs above 500KB are handled in a Web Worker to keep the UI responsive without uploading data.
