# urlencoding
[](https://lib.rs/crates/urlencoding)
A Rust library for doing URL percentage encoding and decoding. It percent-encodes everything except alphanumerics and `-`, `_`, `.`, `~`. When decoding `+` is not treated as a space.
Usage
=====
To encode a string, do the following:
```rust
use urlencoding::encode;
fn main() {
let encoded = encode("This string will be URL encoded.");
println!("{}", encoded);
// This%20string%20will%20be%20URL%20encoded.
}
```
To decode a string, it's only slightly different:
```rust
use urlencoding::decode;
fn main() {
let decoded = decode("%F0%9F%91%BE%20Exterminate%21");
println!("{}", decoded.unwrap());
// 👾 Exterminate!
}
```
