urlencoding

A tiny Rust library for doing URL percentage encoding and decoding. It percent-encodes everything except alphanumerics and -, _, ., ~.

When decoding + is not treated as a space. Error recovery from incomplete percent-escapes follows the WHATWG URL standard.

Usage

To encode a string, do the following:

use urlencoding::encode;

fn main() {
  let encoded = encode("This string will be URL encoded.");
  println!("{}", encoded);
  // This%20string%20will%20be%20URL%20encoded.
}

To decode a string, it's only slightly different:

use urlencoding::decode;

fn main() {
  let decoded = decode("%F0%9F%91%BE%20Exterminate%21");
  println!("{}", decoded.unwrap());
  // 👾 Exterminate!
}
