What is URL Decoding?

URL decoding is the process of converting URL encoded characters back to their original form. It transforms special character sequences (like %20) back into readable text (like spaces).

Common URL encoded characters include:

  • Space (%20)
  • Question mark (%3F)
  • Ampersand (%26)
  • Plus sign (%2B)
  • Forward slash (%2F)

URL decoding is essential for:

  • Reading URL parameters
  • Processing form submissions
  • Handling API responses
  • Working with encoded URLs

Note: URL decoding restores encoded characters to their original form. Make sure the input is actually URL encoded to avoid unexpected results.
