Re: JS XSS protection library

[Ryan Dewhurst <ryandewhurst () gmail com>]

The OWASP DOM XSS Prevention Cheat Sheet (if you haven't come across it
already) lists these:

"
1.ESAPI
2.Apache Commons String Utils
3.Jtidy
4.Your company’s custom implementation.

Some work on a black list while others ignore important characters like “<”
and “>”. ESAPI is one of the few which works on a whitelist and encodes all
non-alphanumeric characters. It is important to use an encoding library
that understands which characters can be used to exploit vulnerabilies in
their respective contexts. Misconceptions abound related to the proper
encoding that is required.

I have no experience with any of them, so can't recommend any.
