This page documents existing library code that strips elements and attributes from HTML for "safe" display of HTML (e.g. for embedding).

jsoup (Java)

Details

  • none – "This whitelist allows only text nodes: all HTML will be stripped."
  • simpleText – "This whitelist allows only simple text formatting: b, em, i, strong, u"
  • basic – "This whitelist allows a fuller range of text nodes: a, b, blockquote, br, cite, code, dd, dl, dt, em, i, li, ol, p, pre, q, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, u, ul, and appropriate attributes."
  • relaxed – "This whitelist allows a full range of text and structural body HTML: a, b, blockquote, br, caption, cite, code, col, colgroup, dd, dl, dt, em, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, i, img, li, ol, p, pre, q, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, u, ul"

Problems: doesn't support new elements defined in HTML5.

AntiSamy Project (Java, .NET)

Homepage, Download page on Google Code

Different profiles can be defined in an XML file. The distribution contains the following sample profiles:

  • "Anything goes" (XML): "If you wanted to allow every single valid HTML and CSS element (but without JavaScript or blatant CSS-related phishing attacks), you can use this policy file."
  • "MySpace" (XML): "Users are allowed to submit pretty much all HTML and CSS they want - as long as it doesn't contain JavaScript. MySpace is currently using a word blacklist to validate users' HTML, which is why they were subject to the infamous Samy worm"
  • "eBay" (XML)
  • "Slashdot" (XML)
  • "TinyMCE" (XML) – matches the client-side validation done by TinyMCE.

HTML Purifier (PHP)

Homepage, GitHub

HTML Purifier is a standards-compliant HTML filter library written in PHP. HTML Purifier will not only remove all malicious code (better known as XSS) with a thoroughly audited, secure yet permissive whitelist, it will also make sure your documents are standards compliant, something only achievable with a comprehensive knowledge of W3C's specifications.

  • Extensively configurable, can do things like selective CSS stripping, rewriting deprecated presentational elements as inline CSS, etc.
