We hope you have enjoyed reading the material, if you still have problems, see the MDN docs below given for all four functions. In UTF-8, the number of leading 1 bits in the first byte, which may be 0 (for 1-byte ASCII characters), 2, 3, or 4, indicates the number of bytes in. The decodeURI () function decodes the URI by treating each escape sequence in the form XX as one UTF-8 code unit (one byte). Same way, if the URL or URI is encoded using the encodeURI() function, you should use decodeURI() to properly decode it and if specific components are encoded using the encodeURIComponent() function, you should use decodeURIComponent() to decode those specific components. decodeURI () is a function property of the global object. If you don’t have a specific requirement and just want to encode the URL or URI before transmitting it to the web, you can use encodeURI(), but remember, if you only want to encode specific components of the URL, such as query parameters, you should use the encodeURIComponent() functions. In this tutorial, we have looked at the importance of encoding a URL or URI and learned about several functions that JavaScript provides which take URLs as input to encode and decode them with their respective code examples.
