Sanitizing user input

I'm dealing now with sanitizing user input to prevent XSS & SQL type of attack. Ideally, I would love to have a single middleware that sanitizes the entire input (i.e. remove script tags, sql commands, etc). Practically, I can't find a library that acts that way + this approach has significant performance footprint. Most libraries like xss-filters & express-validator act on specific routes and fields which forces the developer to deal with security concerns as she codes business features. What do you think?
