OWASP Encoder Comparison Reference Project

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.

Web 2.0 web application that allows users to choose which encoder libraries to compare. It should compare ESAPI as well as other

Deliverable includes the source code to the web application Hosted version so that folks can access this tool without needing to download, install, configure, etc."

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.
