What's the Difference Between Escaping and Encoding HTML?
Escaping is a subset of encoding. When escaping, not all characters are encoded. Only ampersand &, less than <, and greater than symbol > are encoded in HTML escape.
When to Escape HTML?
Escape HTML if you want to display the actual code in a webpage without the browser executing or processing the said code. See the example below.
Source Code (Escaped twice)<textarea>Hello, world!</textarea>Result
<textarea>Hello, world!</textarea>
