The developer of HTML Purifier has announced the release of HTML Purifier version 2.0.0.
According to the HTML Purifier web site:
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. Tired of using BBCode due to the current landscape of deficient or insecure HTML filters? Have a WYSIWYG editor but never been able to use it? Looking for high-quality, standards-compliant, open-source components for that application you’re building? HTML Purifier is for you!
The code base for this application is very elegent and the use of this application is blindingly simple yet astonishingly powerful. Anyone that develops any applications that allow user supplied markup should take a close look at HTML Purifier.
