But the basic why escaping is useful and what characters will crash your web application using data via url-parameter, JSON … is more interessting than a plain converter!

Funny how we long lacked such a tool.

This is really useful for internationalization and figuring out how to insert static text that won’t break the page.

Very nice! I have my own encoder form that I frequently use, but not as complete and usable:

You might want to distinguish between encodeURI vs. encodeURIComponent – both of which I find useful in different circumstances.

This is a tool I’ve wanted for a long time, in fact I’ve used it numerous times today. Thank you!

@Darkimmortal, if you are talking about encode it should work in every browser … I mean, every, iPhone and Android Webkit versions included.

Really useful ! It would be great to enter text in one of the other text inputs and and the script encode/decode it in all the other encodings. Actually, this is only possible with the first input.

Thanks!

@barryvan I do not know how it happened but apparently there was a js code at the end of the page which was not mine. I am investigating with my host provider right now it should be ok. Thanks and sorry for that

Hmm — for some reason, AVG is reporting “http://www.3site.eu/encode/” as a threat. :/
