HTML sanitization is the process of cleaning and filtering user-generated HTML content to prevent malicious code injection and ensure web application security. By removing or escaping potentially hazardous HTML elements and attributes, HTML sanitization helps protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, making it a crucial step in safeguarding web applications and maintaining user trust, particularly for developers working with user-generated content or building secure web interfaces.
