secure-request-encoder

Secure Request Encoder is a middleware package for Node.js and Express.js that enhances the security of your web application by encoding potentially unsafe characters in HTTP request bodies. It helps prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by sanitizing user input before it is processed by your application.

Features

• Automatically encodes HTML entities such as < and > to their safe equivalents (< and >) in request data.
• Supports both string and object request bodies, ensuring that string values within objects are properly encoded.
• Recursively traverses complex JSON request bodies to sanitize nested strings.
• Designed to seamlessly integrate with Express.js applications.

Installation

Install http-status-codes with npm

  npm install secure-request-encoder

Usage/Examples

import securerequestencoder from "secure-request-encoder";
