What is urlencode?

The `urlencode` npm package is used for encoding and decoding URL strings. It provides simple methods to encode a string into a URL-safe format and decode a URL-encoded string back to its original format.

What are urlencode's main functionalities?

URL Encoding

This feature allows you to encode a string into a URL-safe format. The `urlencode` function takes a string as input and returns the encoded version of that string.

const urlencode = require('urlencode');
const encoded = urlencode('Hello World!');
console.log(encoded); // Outputs: Hello%20World%21

URL Decoding

This feature allows you to decode a URL-encoded string back to its original format. The `decode` function takes an encoded string as input and returns the decoded version of that string.

const urlencode = require('urlencode');
const decoded = urlencode.decode('Hello%20World%21');
console.log(decoded); // Outputs: Hello World!

Encoding with Character Set

This feature allows you to encode a string using a specific character set. The `urlencode` function can take an additional parameter specifying the character set to use for encoding.

const urlencode = require('urlencode');
const encoded = urlencode('你好', 'gbk');
console.log(encoded); // Outputs: %C4%E3%BA%C3

Decoding with Character Set

This feature allows you to decode a URL-encoded string using a specific character set. The `decode` function can take an additional parameter specifying the character set to use for decoding.

const urlencode = require('urlencode');
const decoded = urlencode.decode('%C4%E3%BA%C3', 'gbk');
console.log(decoded); // Outputs: 你好
