Why encode HTML entities?
To prevent HTML injection and XSS attacks. Characters like <, >, &, and " must be encoded when inserted into HTML to avoid being interpreted as markup.
What is the difference between &amp; and &?
Both represent the ampersand character (&). Named entities (&) are human-readable; decimal (&) and hex (&) are numeric representations of the same Unicode code point.
