Package description
The @aws-sdk/util-uri-escape package is part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript and provides utilities for encoding and decoding URI components. It's specifically designed to handle the quirks of URI encoding in a way that's compatible with AWS service expectations. This can be particularly useful when working with AWS services that require specific encoding of URIs for API requests.
URI encoding
This feature allows you to encode URI components to ensure they are safe to transmit over the network. It is particularly useful for encoding paths and query parameters that may contain characters which have special meanings in URIs.
"import { escapeUri } from '@aws-sdk/util-uri-escape';\nconst encodedUri = escapeUri('/path/to resource?queryParam=value');"URI decoding
This feature enables the decoding of URI components. It's useful for parsing encoded URIs to retrieve the original data. This can be particularly important when handling encoded URIs received from web requests or other sources.
"import { unescapeUri } from '@aws-sdk/util-uri-escape';\nconst decodedUri = unescapeUri('%2Fpath%2Fto%20resource%3FqueryParam%3Dvalue');"The querystring package provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL query strings. It's similar to @aws-sdk/util-uri-escape in that it deals with URL encoding and decoding, but it focuses specifically on the query string portion of the URL.
Though not a package, encodeURIComponent is a built-in JavaScript function that provides similar functionality to the encoding aspect of @aws-sdk/util-uri-escape. It's designed to encode a URI component by escaping certain characters. However, it does not include decoding functionality and is not tailored to AWS's specific requirements.
