Introduction

The OWASP Encoder Comparison Reference Project is a quick reference for how ESAPI and other framework and native language encoding methods work against ASCII characters.

Description

Libraries and frameworks encode ASCII characters differently. The OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) is the reference implementation for the most comprehensive and secure output encoding/escaping. Using this encoder comparison table, you will see how ESAPI exceeds other framework encoders and native encoders.
