mdurl

What is mdurl?

The mdurl npm package is a utility for encoding and decoding URLs in a manner that is consistent with Markdown specifications. It is particularly useful when dealing with Markdown files that contain URLs which may need to be properly escaped to ensure they are interpreted correctly by Markdown parsers.

What are mdurl's main functionalities?

URL Encoding

Encodes a URL by escaping characters that are not allowed in Markdown URLs. This is useful for creating Markdown links that contain special characters.

var encode = require('mdurl/encode');
console.log(encode('https://example.com/foo bar'));

URL Decoding

Decodes a URL by unescaping percent-encoded characters. This is useful for reading and processing Markdown links that contain encoded characters.

var decode = require('mdurl/decode');
console.log(decode('https://example.com/foo%20bar'));
