NAME
HTML::StripScripts::Parser - XSS filter using HTML::Parser

SYNOPSIS
  use HTML::StripScripts::Parser();

  my $hss = HTML::StripScripts::Parser->new(

       {
           Context => 'Document',       ## HTML::StripScripts configuration
           Rules   => { ... },
       },

       strict_comment => 1,             ## HTML::Parser options
       strict_names   => 1,

  );

  $hss->parse_file("foo.html");

  print $hss->filtered_document;

  OR

  print $hss->filter_html($html);

DESCRIPTION
This class provides an easy interface to "HTML::StripScripts", using "HTML::Parser" to parse the HTML.

See HTML::Parser for details of how to customise how the raw HTML is parsed into tags, and HTML::StripScripts for details of how to customise the way those tags are filtered.

CONSTRUCTORS

new ( {CONFIG}, [PARSER_OPTIONS]  )
    Creates a new "HTML::StripScripts::Parser" object.

    The CONFIG parameter has the same semantics as the CONFIG parameter to the "HTML::StripScripts" constructor.

    Any PARSER_OPTIONS supplied will be passed on to the HTML::Parser init method, allowing you to influence the way the input is parsed.

    You cannot use PARSER_OPTIONS to set the "HTML::Parser" event handlers (see "Events" in HTML::Parser) since "HTML::StripScripts::Parser" uses all of the event hooks itself. However, you can use "Rules" (see "Rules" in HTML::StripScripts) to customise the handling of all tags and attributes.

METHODS
See HTML::Parser for input methods, HTML::StripScripts for output methods.

  filter_html()
filter_html() is a convenience method for filtering HTML already loaded into a scalar variable. It combines calls to HTML::Parser::parse(), HTML::Parser::eof() and HTML::StripScripts::filtered_document().

    $filtered_html = $hss->filter_html($html);

SUBCLASSING
The "HTML::StripScripts::Parser" class is subclassable. Filter objects are plain hashes. The hss_init() method takes the same arguments as new(), and calls the initialization methods of both "HTML::StripScripts" and "HTML::Parser".

See "SUBCLASSING" in HTML::StripScripts and "SUBCLASSING" in HTML::Parser.
