HTML <script> integrity attribute

Definition and Usage

integrity The attribute allows the browser to check the obtained script to ensure that the code is not loaded when the source code is tampered with.

Subresource Integrity (SRI) is a W3C specification that allows web developers to ensure that resources hosted on third-party servers have not been modified. It is recommended to use SRI!

When using SRI, the web page saves the hash value, and the server saves the file (in this case, the .js file). The browser downloads the file, then checks it to ensure it matches integrity The hash value in the attribute matches. If it matches, the file will be used; if not, the file will be blocked.

You can use an online SRI hash generator to generate integrity hashes: SRI Hash Generator.
