OWASP Java Encoder Project
==========================
[](https://travis-ci.org/OWASP/owasp-java-encoder) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause)
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](https://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22org.owasp.encoder%22%20a%3A%22encoder%22).
JSP tags and EL functions are available in the encoder-jsp, also available in [Central](http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/owasp/encoder/encoder-jsp/1.2/encoder-jsp-1.2.jar).
The jars are also available in Maven:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.owasp.encoder</groupId>
<artifactId>encoder</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.owasp.encoder</groupId>
<artifactId>encoder-jsp</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</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.jar,
import org.owasp.encoder.Encode and start using.
Example usage:
```java
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!
