Demonstrates URL encoding and decoding. Chilkat2-Python

import chilkat2

success = False

# To URL encoding a string:
s = "Why a > b?"

sb = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
success = sb.Append(s)

# URL encode the string.
sb.Encode("url","utf-8")

# Show the URL encoded string:
sEncoded = sb.GetAsString()
print(sEncoded)

# The result is:  Why%20a%20%3E%20b%3F

# If you prefer "+" instead of "%20" for SPACE chars:
numReplaced = sb.Replace("%20","+")
print(sb.GetAsString())

# Output is:   Why+a+%3E+b%3F

# To decode:
sb.Decode("url","utf-8")
print(sb.GetAsString())

# Result is: Why a > b?
