Encoding Workbench

Overview

• Handle common Base64 / URL / HTML Entity / Unicode conversions from a single page.
• Uses one input editor plus read-only result windows, which keeps quick copying, comparison, and debugging lightweight.
• All conversions run locally in the browser. No text needs to be sent to the server.

Page Notes

• Base64 works on UTF-8 text for both encoding and decoding.
• URL follows encodeURIComponent / decodeURIComponent semantics and is best for query values or fragments.
• HTML Entity is useful when you want to inspect escaped and unescaped HTML text side by side.
• Unicode supports common \uXXXX / \u{...} / \xXX sequences plus \n / \r / \t escaping and unescaping.

Usage Guidance

• When working with URLs, decide first whether you want to encode the full URL or only one parameter value.
• Base64 decoding failures usually come from stray whitespace or incomplete padding.
• The Unicode mode is meant for developer debugging rather than natural-language translation.
