URL Encode Decode Online Tool
Use the online tool from over to either render or crack a string of textbook. For worldwide interoperability, URIs have to be decoded slightly. To collude the wide range of characters used worldwide into the 60 or so allowed characters in a URI, a two- step process is used
Convert the character string into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-8 garbling
Convert each byte that isn't an ASCII letter or number to HH, where HH is the hexadecimal value of the byte
For illustration, the string François, would be decoded as François
(The"ç"is decoded in UTF-8 as two bytes C3 ( hex) and A7 ( hex), which are also written as the three characters"Ã"and"§" independently.) This can make a URI rather long (up to 9 ASCII characters for a single Unicode character), but the intention is that cybersurfers only need to display the decrypted form, and numerous protocols can shoot UTF-8 without the HH escaping.
What's URL garbling?
URL garbling daises for garbling certain characters in a URL by replacing them with one or further character triumvirates that correspond of the percent character"" followed by two hexadecimal integers. The two hexadecimal integers of the trinity (s) represent the numeric value of the replaced character.
The term URL garbling is a bit inexact because the garbling procedure isn't limited to URLs (Uniform Resource Locators), but can also be applied to any other URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) similar as Coffins (Uniform Resource Names). Thus, the term percent- garbling should be preferred.
Which Characters Are Allowed in a URL?
The characters allowed in a URI are moreover reserved or unreserved (or a percent character as part of a percent- garbling). Reserved characters are those characters that occasionally have special meaning, while unreserved characters have no similar meaning. Using percent- garbling, characters which else would not be allowed are represented using allowed characters. The sets of reserved and unreserved characters and the circumstances under which certain reserved characters have special meaning have changed slightly with each modification of specifications that govern URIs and URI schemes.
According to RFC 3986, the characters in a URL have to be taken from a defined set of unreserved and reticent ASCII characters. Any other characters aren't allowed in a URL.
The unreserved characters can be decoded, but shouldn't be decoded. The unreserved characters are
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9-,.
The reserved characters have to be decoded only under certain circumstances. The reserved characters are

Encoding/ Decoding a Piece of Text
RFC 3986 doesn't define according to which character garbling tablenon-ASCII characters (e.g. the umlauts ä, ö, ü) should be decoded. As URL garbling involves a brace of hexadecimal integers and as a brace of hexadecimal integers is original to 8 bits, it would theoretically be possible to use one of the 8- bit law runners fornon-ASCII characters (e.g. ISO-8859-1 for umlauts).
On the other hand, as numerous languages have their own 8- bit law runner, handling all these different 8- bit law runners would be a relatively clumsy thing to do. Some languages don't indeed fit into an 8- bit law runner (e.g. Chinese). Thus, RFC 3629 proposes to use the UTF-8 character garbling table fornon-ASCII characters. The following tool takes this into account and offers to choose between the ASCII character garbling table and the UTF-8 character garblingtable.However, a warning communication will pop up if the URL decoded/ decrypted textbook containsnon-ASCII characters, If you conclude for the ASCII character garbling table.
When and why would you use URL garbling?
When data that has been entered into HTML forms is submitted, the form field names and values are decoded and transferred to the garçon in an HTTP request communication using system GET or POST, or, historically, via dispatch. The garbling used by dereliction is grounded on a veritably early interpretation of the general URI percent- garbling rules, with a number of variations similar as newline normalization and replacing spaces with"" rather of"". The MIME type of data decoded this way is operation/x-www-form-urlencoded, and it's presently defined ( still in a veritably outdated manner) in the HTML and XForms specifications. In addition, the CGI specification contains rules for how web waiters crack data of this type and make it available to operations.
When transferred in an HTTP GET request, operation/x-www-form-urlencoded data is included in the query element of the request URI. When transferred in an HTTP POST request or via dispatch, the data is placed in the body of the communication, and the name of the media type is included in the communication's Content- Type title.
