About URL Decoder
What is URL Decoding?
URL decoding is the process of converting percent-encoded characters within a URL back to their original form. It is the reverse of URL encoding. For example, decoding turns "%20" into a space (" ") and "%3A" into a colon (":"). URL decoding ensures that data passed in URLs can be read and understood properly.
How Does URL Decoding Work?
URL decoding takes encoded characters (percent-encoded values) and translates them back to readable text. This is commonly used when URLs include special characters or spaces, which must be encoded to comply with URI specifications. For instance, "Hello%20World" decodes to "Hello World".
