## What it is
A Laravel service provider that wraps the HTMLPurifier library for sanitizing HTML input. It provides a simple clean() helper and Purifier facade to strip malicious code like XSS while keeping HTML standards-compliant.

## Use cases
- sanitize user-submitted HTML in Laravel
- prevent XSS from rich text editor input
- clean HTML before storing in database
- whitelist allowed HTML tags in user content
- purify WYSIWYG editor output in Laravel apps

## When to choose
- you're building a Laravel app that accepts HTML from users
- you need a battle-tested, standards-compliant HTML sanitizer
- you want a simple facade/helper API over HTMLPurifier

## When to avoid
- you're not using Laravel or PHP
- you only need to escape plain text (use built-in escaping instead)
- you need sanitization in JavaScript on the client side

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: security, middleware, templating
- domain: web-development, security, backend
- platform: php
- tags: htmlpurifier, xss-protection, html-sanitization, laravel-package, input-cleaning, laravel
