ammonia-wasm

WASM bindings for the Ammonia HTML sanitizer.

Ammonia is a whitelist-based HTML sanitization library written in Rust. It is designed to prevent cross-site scripting, layout breaking, and clickjacking caused by untrusted user-provided HTML being mixed into a larger web page.

Ammonia uses html5ever to parse and serialize document fragments the same way browsers do, so it is extremely resilient to syntactic obfuscation.

Ammonia parses its input exactly according to the HTML5 specification; it will not linkify bare URLs, insert line or paragraph breaks, or convert (C) into ©. If you want that, use a markup processor before running the sanitizer.

How to use

import * as ammonia from "https://deno.land/x/ammonia@0.3.0/mod.ts";
await ammonia.init();

// Simple cleaning with conservative defaults.
ammonia.clean("XSS<script>attack</script>"); // XSS

// Custom options
const builder = new ammonia.AmmoniaBuilder();
builder.tags.delete("p"); // strip the <p> tag
const cleaner = builder.build();
ammonia.clean("foo<p>bar</p>"); // foobar

For exact details on the options on AmmoniaBuilder or any other API, view deno doc.

Thanks

Thanks to the authors of Ammonia (@notriddle, and @lnicola), the countless of contributors to html5ever, and the HTML spec authors.

Additional thanks to the @denosaurs folks for the build.ts script this repo uses.
