How do I sanitize user input in Go?

When working with user input in Go, it’s crucial to sanitize that input to prevent vulnerabilities like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and other security issues. Here, we provide an example of how to sanitize user input effectively.

Example of Sanitizing User Input in Go


    package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "html"
    )

    func main() {
        // Example user input
        userInput := ""

        // Sanitizing user input by escaping HTML
        sanitizedInput := html.EscapeString(userInput)

        fmt.Println("Sanitized Input: ", sanitizedInput)
    }
