You shouldnt have to "transform" the data though.
You should validate the data and sanitize the data...but if youre transforming data youre headed into a state management nightmare.
State management is the number one enemy and other than sanitizing and validating both the data and structure should be considered mostly immutable.
- ang_cire 3y agoYou absolutely may need and want to transform data. You don't want to store code unmodified in a database; that's how you end up with SSTI or stored XSS. You encode special characters in a simple, reversible way (as one example). Similarly, you don't store passwords untransformed in a db, you hash them. That's a transform. There are tons of examples like this.
