Direct answer

The most common risk when working with javascript-unescape is accepting a plausible-looking result without checking syntax, escaping, execution behavior and edge cases.

Key takeaways

  • Purpose: produce a result suited to the actual input and downstream use.
  • Check: syntax, escaping, execution behavior and edge cases.
  • Limitation: formatting or minification cannot prove code is safe or correct.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect syntax, escaping, execution behavior and edge cases.
  • Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a short function that receives an input and returns a value instead.
  • Ignoring compatibility: formatting or minification cannot prove code is safe or correct.
