what is this project?
Name: OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer (home page)
Purpose:
  • The OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer Project is a fast and easy to configure HTML Sanitizer written in Java which lets you include HTML authored by third-parties in your web application while protecting against XSS.
  • This code was written with security best practices in mind, has an extensive test suite, and has undergone adversarial security review https://code.google.com/p/owasp-java-html-sanitizer/wiki/AttackReviewGroundRules.
  • The existing dependencies are on guava and JSR 305. The JSR 305 dependency is a compile-only dependency, only needed for annotations. The other jars are only needed by the unittests.
  • Provides 4X the speed of AntiSamy sanitization in DOM mode and 2X the speed of AntiSamy in SAX mode.
  • Very easy to use. It allows for simple programmatic POSITIVE policy configuration (see below). No XML config.
  • Actively maintained by Mike Samuel from Google's AppSec team!
  • Passing 95+% of AntiSamy's unit tests plus many more.
  • This is code from the Caja project that was donated by Google. It is rather high performance and low memory utilization.
  • Java 1.5+
