Frequently asked questions

When do I need to escape strings?

When text with quotes, backslashes or line breaks goes inside a string literal, SQL query, HTML or regex.

Is SQL escaping enough to prevent injection?

No. Always use parameterized queries in applications; escaping here is for quick manual work.

What does regex escaping do?

It adds backslashes before characters like . * ? ( ) so they match literally.

Unicode ConverterConvert text to Unicode code points, JavaScript, Python, HTML and CSS escapes, and UTF-8 bytes, or decode escapes back to text. Shows each character. URL DecoderDecode and encode URLs and query strings with percent encoding. See the URL broken into host, path and parameters. Handles double-encoded text. Base64 DecoderDecode Base64 and Base64URL to text or files, and encode text to Base64. Detects images and PDFs and lets you download them. UTF-8 safe.
