  • String Escaper: Quote, Embed, and Sanitize Strings Across JSON, HTML, SQL, and JS

    A stray quote can crash your build or open an XSS hole. Escape strings safely for JSON, HTML, JavaScript, SQL, Java, Python, and shell — in one tool, no chance of forgetting an edge case.

  • HTML Entity Encoder / Decoder: Display Special Characters Safely on the Web

    Want to show a literal < or © or — on a web page without breaking the HTML? Encode and decode HTML entities in one click, including the full named-entity table and numeric references.

  • SQL Formatter: Make Any Query Readable in One Paste (Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery)

    A 500-character single-line SQL string is where bugs hide. Beautify any query with proper keyword casing, indentation, and JOIN alignment — works for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, BigQuery, and Snowflake dialects.

About this Tool

Safe strings, happy code. Escape special characters instantly for JSON, HTML, Java, and more. Prevent syntax errors and security vulnerabilities by ensuring your strings are properly formatted for their destination.

When you put text into code, special characters like quotes (`"`) or brackets (`<`) can break things or cause security issues (like XSS). Escaping replaces these characters with safe alternatives (like `\"` or `&lt;`) so the computer treats them as text, not code.

  1. Paste your raw string.
  2. Select the target format (JSON, HTML, etc.).
  3. Click the button to process the text.
  4. Copy the safe string.
  • Preparing JSON data for an API.
  • Preventing XSS in HTML templates.
  • Pasting code snippets into documentation.
  • Handling file paths in Java.
  • Multi-Language Support: Escape for JSON, HTML, URL, Java, and Python.
  • Instant Processing: Real-time conversion.
  • Secure: Runs entirely in your browser.
  • Unescape Mode: Revert escaped strings back to raw text.

It replaces specific characters with their 'escape sequences'. For example, in JSON, a newline becomes `\n`. In HTML, `<` becomes `&lt;`. The tool applies the standard replacement rules for the selected language.

When should I use URL encoding?

Use it when sending data in a URL (like query parameters) to ensure spaces and special symbols don't break the link.

Does this affect the data itself?

It changes the representation, but the underlying data meaning remains the same once decoded by the receiving system.

Can I escape SQL here?

This tool focuses on web and code formats. For SQL, it's safer to use 'prepared statements' in your code rather than manual escaping.

All calculations and data processing for this tool are performed locally in your browser. UtilToolkits does not send any of your data to an external server, ensuring your information remains private and secure.
