# HTML::Escape(3pm)

Extremely fast HTML escaping

## NAME

HTML::Escape - Extremely fast HTML escaping

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use HTML::Escape qw/escape_html/;
    my $escaped = escape_html("<^o^>");
```

## DESCRIPTION

This modules provides a function which escapes HTML's special characters. It performs a similar function to PHP's htmlspecialchars.  It escapes the following characters:

```
    " & ' < > ` { }
```

This module uses XS for better performance, but it also provides a pure perl version.

## FAQ

- Is there also an unescape\_html?

  No. Unescaping HTML requires a lot of code, and we don't want to do it. Please use HTML::Entities for it.
