The AntiXSS Library is a .NET assembly provided as part of the Web Protection Library, a Microsoft Open Source project. It provides various encoding functions for use in web applications. Encoding functions generally take un-trusted input and translate it into a format which is suitable for inclusion in output, minimizing the risk of injection attacks such as Cross Site Scripting.
Its approach differs from the built-in encoders in the .NET framework in that it uses a safe-list approach, rather than a limited black-list.
Installing AntiXSS can most easily be done using its NuGet package:
Install-Package AntiXSS
