Whether there is something similar to strip_tags in Java?

Question

We have a function strip_tags in PHP which would strip all the tags and also you can exempt certain tags from being stripped out..

My question is whether there is anything similar in Java??

Answer 1

You could try using the JSoup library. That API provides a clean method:

For examples, have a look over here: Sanitize untrusted HTML:

String unsafe = 
  "<p><a href='http://example.com/' onclick='stealCookies()'>Link</a></p>";

String safe = Jsoup.clean(unsafe, Whitelist.basic());

// now: <p><a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p>
