API Guide

For End Users

Most applications should use the high-level detection functions:

• detect_sqli - Main SQL injection detection (recommended)
• detect_sqli_with_flags - SQL injection detection with custom flags
• detect_xss - Cross-site scripting detection
• version - Library version information

These functions handle all the complexity of testing multiple contexts and SQL dialects automatically, returning simple results.

For Advanced Users and Debugging

For debugging, performance analysis, or advanced customization, you can access the lower-level APIs:

• SqliState - Direct access to SQL parsing state and tokenization
• XssDetector - Direct XSS detection with context control
• Fingerprint - SQL injection fingerprint analysis

These APIs expose the internal parsing state, tokens, and folding mechanisms that power the detection logic. They are primarily intended for:

• Debugging: Understanding why certain inputs are flagged
• Performance: Avoiding repeated parsing for multiple checks
• Research: Analyzing the tokenization and folding process
• Testing: Validating behavior against the C reference implementation

Most applications should not use these lower-level APIs unless they have specific requirements that the high-level functions cannot meet.
