URL Decode

This data converter decodes all URL encodings into their real characters.

The encoded characters are on the form %HH, where HH is the hexadecimal byte value. The encoded characters are first decoded to bytes from this notation. The bytes are then converted to characters using the selected character encoding.

Properties

The URL Decode data converter can be configured using the following properties:

Character Encoding: The character encoding to use for converting the bytes to characters.
Description: Type in a description to be shown in the list of data converters. If there is no type in a description, one will be generated.

Example

If the selected character encoding is UTF-8, and the input text is:

    x%2By%3Dz

the data converter will output:

    x+y=z
