XSS Prevention Libraries

XSS prevention libraries are tools used by developers to protect websites from cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, where malicious scripts are inserted into web pages. These libraries help by automatically sanitizing and encoding user input, ensuring that any potentially harmful code is rendered harmless before it reaches the browser. Essentially, they act as filters that detect and neutralize malicious scripts, maintaining the security and integrity of the website and its users' data. Using these libraries simplifies the process of implementing security measures against XSS vulnerabilities.
