 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are a type of injection, in which malicious scripts (primarily JavaScript) are injected into otherwise trusted web sites. You can read more about Cross Site Scripting here: [[Cross-site_Scripting_%28XSS%29]]. One of the primary defenses to stop Cross Site Scripting is a technique called <i>Contextual Output Encoding</i>.  <b>WARNING</b>: Please note that XSS prevention requires other defensive strategies besides encoding! For more information, please read about Cross Site Scripting prevention here: [[XSS_(Cross_Site_Scripting)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet]].

+== OWASP Java Encoder Library Related Changes ==
+The OWASP Java Encoder Library at its core is intended to be a XSS safe _encoding_ library.  The grave accent is a legitimate and frequently used character, that cannot be encoded to avoid this bug in unpatched versions of IE.  With enough user feedback, we may update the library to include one of the following options: (1) alternate, drop-in build that filters grave accents, with unchanged API, (2) new filtering methods.

+Several users of the Java Encoder have asked how to properly use the OWASP Java Encoder in combination with template literals.
 The best way to encode template literal variables is to first escape the untrusted data in a JavaScript variable and then place that variable in the template literal.
