# 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](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML%3A%3AEntities) for it.
