strict-uri-encode

What is strict-uri-encode?

The strict-uri-encode npm package is designed for percent-encoding a string as per RFC 3986. It is particularly useful for encoding URI components more strictly than what is provided by native JavaScript functions like encodeURIComponent. This can be essential in situations where you need to ensure that characters are encoded in a way that is compliant with certain web standards or APIs that expect strictly encoded URIs.

What are strict-uri-encode's main functionalities?

Percent-encoding URI components

This feature allows you to percent-encode a URI component more strictly than encodeURIComponent. For example, characters such as '!', '*', ''', '(', and ')' will be encoded, which are not encoded by the encodeURIComponent function. This is useful when you need to encode these characters in a URI component to ensure it adheres to certain standards or API expectations.

"strict-uri-encode('! * '()')"

Other packages similar to strict-uri-encode

query-string

The query-string package provides parsing and stringifying of URL query strings. It is similar to strict-uri-encode in that it deals with URI components, but it offers a broader set of functionalities for handling the entire query string.

qs

Similar to query-string, the qs package allows for parsing and stringifying query strings with nested objects support. While strict-uri-encode focuses on strict encoding of individual URI components, qs offers comprehensive handling of query strings, including parsing and stringification, with an emphasis on handling complex objects and arrays.
