htmlutil
Some HTML utilities for Go.
This repo provides two packages: checker and escaper. These are works in progress so far, and I intend to add more functions to each package as needed. Pull requests welcome.
checker
import "github.com/Dancapistan/htmlutil/checker"
This package provides a number of utility functions to verify that a given input conforms to the HTML 5 spec for a given role.
For example, the function checker.IsValidAttributeName returns true if the argument can be used as an HTML tag's attribute name, like "type" in <input type=email>:
name := "type"
ok := checker.IsValidAttributeName(name)
// ok == true
Please see the package's GoDoc page for a complete list of functions and fairly comprehensive examples.
escaper
import "github.com/Dancapistan/htmlutil/escaper"
This package is more work-in-progress. It provides some functions for escaping arguments to be safe in particular HTML contexts.
For example, escaper.EscapeAttributeValueDoubleQuoted makes sure the argument is safe to use as an HTML attribute value when double quoted. In this case, if the argument contains a double quote character, that character is converted into a safe HTML entity.
