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.
