Class URLDecoder

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--java.net.URLDecoder

public class URLDecoder
extends Object

The class contains a utility method for converting from a MIME format called "`x-www-form-urlencoded`" to a `String`

To convert to a `String`, each character is examined in turn:

- The ASCII characters '`a`' through '`z`', '`A`' through '`Z`', and '`0`' through '`9`' remain the same.
- The plus sign '`+`'is converted into a space character '`` '.
- The remaining characters are represented by 3-character strings which begin with the percent sign, "`%xy`", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the character.

Since:
  1.2
