HTML Purifier 2.0.0 released
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.

HTML Purifier is really great. It will save you days and weeks of work and will give you better results than anything you could write by yourself – one of the reasons for that, is because HTML Purifier is used by many people on many different projects and on different environments. One more reason to choose HTML Purifier is because the author is working on it continuously and the development never ends – it becomes better and better over time. Also note that there are no other similar libraries for PHP at all. To sum it up, you really should try it out and see what I’m talking about by yourself.
