 # TYPO3 HTML Sanitizer
+
+> :warning: This package is still experimental, common safe HTML tags & attributes
+> as given in [`\TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Builder\CommonBuilder`](src/Builder/CommonBuilder.php)
+> still might be adjusted.
+
+## In a Nutshell
+
++ [`\TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Behavior`](src/Behavior.php) contains declarative settings for
+  a particular process for sanitizing HTML.
++ [`\TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Visitor\VisitorInterface`](src/Visitor/VisitorInterface.php)
+  (multiple different visitors can exist at the same time) are actually doing the work
+  based on the declared `Behavior`. Visitors can modify nodes or mark them for deletion.
++ [`\TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Sanitizer`](src/Sanitizer.php) can be considered as the working
+  instance, invoking visitors, parsing and serializing HTML. In general this instance does
+  not contain much logic on how to handle particular nodes, attributes or values
++ [`\TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Builder\BuilderInterface`](src/Builder/BuilderInterface.php) can
+  be used to create multiple different builder instances - in terms of "presets" - which
+  combine declaring a particular `Behavior`, initialization of `VisitorInterface` instances,
+  and finally returning a ready-to-use `Sanitizer` instance
+
+## Example & API
+
+```php
+<?php
+use TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Behavior;
+use TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Sanitizer;
+use TYPO3\HtmlSanitizer\Visitor\CommonVisitor;
+
+require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
+
+$commonAttrs = [
+    new Behavior\Attr('id'),
+    new Behavior\Attr('class'),
+    new Behavior\Attr('data-', Behavior\Attr::NAME_PREFIX),
+];
+$hrefAttr = (new Behavior\Attr('href'))
+    ->addValues(new Behavior\RegExpAttrValue('#^https?://#'));
+
+// attention: only `Behavior` implementation uses immutability
+// (invoking `withFlags()` or `withTags()` returns new instance)
+$behavior = (new Behavior())
+    ->withFlags(Behavior::ENCODE_INVALID_TAG)
+    ->withTags(
+        (new Behavior\Tag('div', Behavior\Tag::ALLOW_CHILDREN))
+            ->addAttrs(...$commonAttrs),
+        (new Behavior\Tag('a', Behavior\Tag::ALLOW_CHILDREN))
+            ->addAttrs($hrefAttr, ...$commonAttrs),
+        (new Behavior\Tag('br')),
+    );
+
+$visitors = [new CommonVisitor($behavior)];
+$sanitizer = new Sanitizer(...$visitors);
+
+$html = <<< EOH
+<div id="main">
+    <a href="https://typo3.org/" data-type="url" wrong-attr="is-removed">TYPO3</a><br>
+    (the <span>SPAN, SPAN, SPAN</span> tag shall be encoded to HTML entities)
+</div>
+EOH;
+
+echo $sanitizer->sanitize($html);
+```
+
+will result in the following sanitized output
+
+```html
+<div id="main">
+    <a data-type="url">TYPO3</a><br>
+    (the &lt;span&gt;SPAN, SPAN, SPAN&lt;/span&gt; tag shall be encoded to HTML entities)
+</div>
+```
+
+### `Behavior` flags
+
+* `Behavior::ENCODE_INVALID_TAG` keeps invalid tags, but "disarms" them (see `<span>` in example)
+* `Behavior::ENCODE_INVALID_ATTR` keeps invalid attributes, but "disarms" the whole(!) tag
+* `Behavior::REMOVE_UNEXPECTED_CHILDREN` removes children for `Tag` entities that were created
+  without explicitly using `Tag::ALLOW_CHILDREN`, but actually contained child nodes
+* `Behavior::ALLOW_CUSTOM_ELEMENTS` allow using custom elements (having a hyphen `-`) - however,
+  it is suggested to explicitly name all known and allowed tags and avoid using this flag
