Input data properties
How could we describe data that we wish to validate and possibly sanitize differently, and present different experiences to end users for providing that data?
- What causes us to want to trim or prevent leading or trailing whitespace from some inputs?
- What causes us to limit the characters a field accepts?
- What sort of data would we want to sanitize or otherwise alter as we accept it (e.g. accepting but also sanitizing HTML to be stored as trusted HTML)?
Is there a good language for describing these categories of data, can we better understand what differentiates them, and use that knowledge to build more consistent guidelines for UX and input handling?
