decode

Return the string with percent-decoding

Synopsis


                template<
    class StringToken = return_string>
StringToken::result_type
decode(
    encoding_opts opt,
    StringToken&& token);

Declared in file <boost/url/pct_string_view.hpp> at line 345

Description

This function converts percent escapes in the string into ordinary characters and returns the result. When called with no arguments, the return type is `std::string`. Otherwise, the return type and style of output is determined by which string token is passed.

Example


assert( pct_string_view( "Program%20Files" ).decode() == "Program Files" );

Complexity

Linear in `this->size()`.

Exception Safety

Calls to allocate may throw. String tokens may throw exceptions.
