OWASP Java Encoder Project

Build Status License

Contextual Output Encoding is a computer programming technique necessary to stop Cross-Site Scripting. This project is a Java 1.5+ simple-to-use drop-in high-performance encoder class with little baggage.

Start using the OWASP Java Encoders

You can download a JAR from Maven Central.

JSP tags and EL functions are available in the encoder-jsp, also available in Central.

The jars are also available in Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.owasp.encoder</groupId>
    <artifactId>encoder</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.owasp.encoder</groupId>
    <artifactId>encoder-jsp</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>

Quick Overview

The OWASP Java Encoder library is intended for quick contextual encoding with very little overhead, either in performance or usage. To get started, simply add the encoder-1.2.3.jar, import org.owasp.encoder.Encode and start using.

Example usage:

    PrintWriter out = ....;
    out.println("<textarea>"+Encode.forHtml(userData)+"</textarea>");

Please look at the javadoc for Encode to see the variety of contexts for which you can encode.

Happy Encoding!
