Does ASP.NET MVC razor view engine encode HTML by default?

Question

Or do we have to use the htmlhelpers for html encoding the data.

It is apparently on by default, as there are questions asking how to turn it off. — Robert Harvey

Yes it does. Use @Html.Raw(...) to break that behavior.

Or use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode

string value1 = "&lt;html&gt;";                 // &lt;html&gt;
string value2 = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(value1); // <html>
