(Node.js) URL Decode

Demonstrates how to URL decode a string.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {



    var sb = new chilkat.StringBuilder();

    // Here we wish to URL decode the following string:
    var success = sb.Append("%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A81.jpg");

    // Notice the above string contains Hebrew chars using the utf-8 byte representation.
    // See https://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/codetables/BasicHebrew.html
    // For example:  D79E is the HEBREW LETTER MEM

    // Therefore, when we decode to binary bytes, we must interpret the bytes as utf-8
    // to get characters.

    // Tell Chilkat to URL decode like this:
    success = sb.Decode("url","utf-8");

    // sb now contains the decoded string.
    console.log(sb.GetAsString());

}
