In the html text box, how to show value which itself contains "" symbol?

Question

Is it possible to give "" symbol itself in the html text box tag?

My requirement is something like this:

<input name="myapi" id="testapi" type="text" value="{"value": "!MYAPI!sdfg" }" class="revapi" hidden="true"/>

where {"value": "!MYAPI!sdfg" } is the value of the text box

Is there any way to do so?

Use HTML Entities. Here is the example

<input type = "text" value = "&quot;{&quot;value&quot;: &quot;!MYAPI!sdfg&quot;}&quot;">

Using single or double quotes. [both are legal](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6800482/1577396) – Mr_Green Nov 06 '14 at 12:01

Just wrap the value with ' (single quote) instead of " (double quotes)

<input name="myapi" id="testapi" type="text" value='{"value": "!MYAPI!sdfg" }' class="revapi"/>

you can escape the "

<input name="myapi" id="testapi" type="text" value="{\"value\": \"!MYAPI!sdfg\" }" class="revapi" hidden="true"/>

or use ' instead of ""

<input name="myapi" id="testapi" type="text" value="{'value': '!MYAPI!sdfg' }" class="revapi" hidden="true"/>
