To prevent XSS, validate and sanitize untrusted user input using Zod schemas with runtime type checks and sanitization transforms. This enforces strict length and format controls to ensure safe data flow across forms and APIs.

Yes, you can use pre-built Zod schemas like emailSchema and safeTextSchema for input validation in Convex mutations. This applies server-side enforcement and consistent sanitization to prevent injection attacks.

The best way to sanitize API payloads is applying a validation pipeline with strict Zod schemas. This process enforces runtime type checks and format controls to return sanitized, type-safe data or validation errors.

Yes, input validation for XSS prevention supports both server-side enforcement and client-side UX validation. This catches data quality issues early while ensuring dangerous content is sanitized before processing user-generated content.

User-generated content causes data quality issues without sanitization transforms because untrusted input lacks runtime type checks. Applying Zod schemas enforces consistent sanitization, preventing injections while preserving useful data.

You validate untrusted user input by providing your payload to a validation pipeline using the correct Zod schema. This applies sanitization transforms and strict controls to receive sanitized, type-safe data or validation errors.
