# Deprecation: #80440 - EXT:lowlevel ArrayBrowser->wrapValue

See [forge#80440](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/80440)

## Description

The method `ArrayBrowser->wrapValue` in EXT:lowlevel has been marked as deprecated, since the sole
logic was to wrap the incoming string into `htmlspecialchars()`.

## Impact

Calling the method will trigger a deprecation warning.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation using the EXT:lowlevel ArrayBrowser class in a custom extension.

## Migration

Remove the call to the method and directly use `htmlspecialchars()` instead.
