EscaperInterface.php

Escape a string for the HTML Body context where there are very few characters of special meaning. Internally this will use htmlspecialchars().

Escape a string for the HTML Attribute context. We use an extended set of characters to escape that are not covered by htmlspecialchars() to cover cases where an attribute might be unquoted or quoted illegally (e.g. backticks are valid quotes for IE).

Escape a string for the Javascript context. This does not use json_encode(). An extended set of characters are escaped beyond ECMAScript's rules for Javascript literal string escaping in order to prevent misinterpretation of Javascript as HTML leading to the injection of special characters and entities. The escaping used should be tolerant of cases where HTML escaping was not applied on top of Javascript escaping correctly. Backslash escaping is not used as it still leaves the escaped character as-is and so is not useful in a HTML context.

Escape a string for the URI or Parameter contexts. This should not be used to escape an entire URI - only a subcomponent being inserted. The function is a simple proxy to rawurlencode() which now implements RFC 3986 since PHP 5.3 completely.

Escape a string for the CSS context. CSS escaping can be applied to any string being inserted into CSS and escapes everything except alphanumerics.
