I faced the encoding half of this problem the other day. Unhappy with the available options, and after taking a look at this C sample code, i decided to roll my own C++ url-encode function: #include <cctype> #include <iomanip> #include <sstream> #include <string> using namespace std; string url_encode(const string &value) { ostringstream escaped; escaped.fill(‘0’); escaped … Read more
Your string is also UTF-8 encoded. This will work: echo utf8_decode(urldecode(“Ant%C3%B4nio+Carlos+Jobim”)); Output: “Antônio Carlos Jobim”.
string decodedUrl = Uri.UnescapeDataString(url) or string decodedUrl = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(url) Url is not fully decoded with one call. To fully decode you can call one of this methods in a loop: private static string DecodeUrlString(string url) { string newUrl; while ((newUrl = Uri.UnescapeDataString(url)) != url) url = newUrl; return newUrl; }
Here is a complete function (taken from PHPJS): function urldecode(str) { return decodeURIComponent((str+”).replace(/\+/g, ‘%20’)); }
The data is UTF-8 encoded bytes escaped with URL quoting, so you want to decode, with urllib.parse.unquote(), which handles decoding from percent-encoded data to UTF-8 bytes and then to text, transparently: from urllib.parse import unquote url = unquote(url) Demo: >>> from urllib.parse import unquote >>> url=”example.com?title=%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0″ >>> unquote(url) ‘example.com?title=правовая+защита’ The Python 2 equivalent is urllib.unquote(), … Read more
Edit (2017-10-12): @MechaLynx and @Kevin-Weber note that unescape() is deprecated from non-browser environments and does not exist in TypeScript. decodeURIComponent is a drop-in replacement. For broader compatibility, use the below instead: decodeURIComponent(JSON.parse(‘”http\\u00253A\\u00252F\\u00252Fexample.com”‘)); > ‘http://example.com’ Original answer: unescape(JSON.parse(‘”http\\u00253A\\u00252F\\u00252Fexample.com”‘)); > ‘http://example.com’ You can offload all the work to JSON.parse
