What is the difference between {{ }} and {!! !!} in laravel blade files?

Blade {{ }} statements are automatically sent through PHP's htmlentities function to prevent XSS attacks.

If you pass data from your Controller to a View with some HTML styling like:

$first = "<b>Narendra Sisodia</b>";

And it is accessed, within Blade, with {{ $first }} then the output'll be:

<b>Narendra Sisodia</b>

But if it is accessed with {!! $first !!} then the output'll be:

Narendra Sisodia


If you don't want the data to be escaped then use {!! !!} else use {{ }}.
