Class Cleaner


  • public class Cleaner
    extends java.lang.Object
    The safelist based HTML cleaner. Use to ensure that end-user provided HTML contains only the elements and attributes that you are expecting; no junk, and no cross-site scripting attacks!

    The HTML cleaner parses the input as HTML and then runs it through a safe-list, so the output HTML can only contain HTML that is allowed by the safelist.

    It is assumed that the input HTML is a body fragment; the clean methods only pull from the source's body, and the canned safe-lists only allow body contained tags.

    Rather than interacting directly with a Cleaner object, generally see the clean methods in Jsoup.

    • Method Detail

      • clean

        public Document clean​(Document dirtyDocument)
        Creates a new, clean document, from the original dirty document, containing only elements allowed by the safelist. The original document is not modified. Only elements from the dirty document's body are used. The OutputSettings of the original document are cloned into the clean document.
        Parameters:
        dirtyDocument - Untrusted base document to clean.
        Returns:
        cleaned document.
      • isValid

        public boolean isValid​(Document dirtyDocument)
        Determines if the input document bodyis valid, against the safelist. It is considered valid if all the tags and attributes in the input HTML are allowed by the safelist, and that there is no content in the head.

        This method can be used as a validator for user input. An invalid document will still be cleaned successfully using the clean(Document) document. If using as a validator, it is recommended to still clean the document to ensure enforced attributes are set correctly, and that the output is tidied.

        Parameters:
        dirtyDocument - document to test
        Returns:
        true if no tags or attributes need to be removed; false if they do
