# zend-escaper [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/zendframework/zend-escaper.svg?branch=master)](https://secure.travis-ci.org/zendframework/zend-escaper) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/zendframework/zend-escaper/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/zendframework/zend-escaper?branch=master) The OWASP Top 10 web security risks study lists Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in second place. PHP’s sole functionality against XSS is limited to two functions of which one is commonly misapplied. Thus, the zend-escaper component was written. It offers developers a way to escape output and defend from XSS and related vulnerabilities by introducing contextual escaping based on peer-reviewed rules. ## Installation Run the following to install this library: ```bash $ composer require zendframework/zend-escaper ``` ## Documentation Browse the documentation online at https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-escaper/ ## Support * [Issues](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-escaper/issues/) * [Chat](https://zendframework-slack.herokuapp.com/) * [Forum](https://discourse.zendframework.com/)
