🔒 Security & Reliability

JSON-LD XSS Prevention

  • Automatic unicode escaping for <Schema> component (<, >, & → \u003c, \u003e, \u0026)
  • Defense-in-depth protection against script injection
  • Zero-configuration security

CLI Security Hardening

  • Path Traversal Protection: Validates output paths are within project directory
  • Hostname Validation: Blocks localhost and private IPs for SEO best practices
  • XML Injection Sanitization: escapeXML() prevents XXE attacks
  • Memory Safety: Streaming JSON parsing handles 10k+ routes without OOM

🚀 Performance

Bundle Size: < 2kB (minified/gzipped)

  • 67% smaller than initial estimate (was < 5kB)
  • Strict tree-shaking via dual entry points (browser vs CLI)
  • Browser bundle excludes heavy CLI dependencies

Hydration Overhead: 0ms

  • Confirmed via React 19 native hoisting
  • No useEffect DOM manipulation
