Question

Which of the following is used to decode the encoded URI?

(a) encodeURI()

(b) encodeURIComponent()

(c) decodeURI()

(d) Server.URLEncode()

I had been asked this question during a job interview.

My question comes from URL Encoding in chapter HTML Images & Web Page Files of HTML

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) decodeURI()

To explain I would say: encodeURI(), encodeURIComponent, decodeURI() are the Java Script function. encodeURI(), encodeURIComponent() are the functionsthat encode URL. decodeURI() is the function that decode the encoded URL.
