Interface Encoders

  • public interface Encoders
    Interface that provides encoders to escape code in JavaScript, HTML, etc. Encoding data is a way to prevent XSS attacks by ensuring it is not misinterpreted as running code. Implementations of this interface are injectable and accessible from EL via the MvcContext class as mvc.encoders.
