URL decode

POST /api/url-decode

URL-decode percent-encoded strings (`%20` → space, `%2F` → `/`, etc.). Optional `+ → space` translation for application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies.

Reverses URL percent-encoding: `%20` → space, `%2F` → `/`, `%E2%9C%93` → `✓`. Output is plain text in UTF-8. Set `plusToSpace: true` if the input came from an HTML form body or query string (where space is encoded as `+`).

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
input*	string	—	Percent-encoded text.
scope	enum (component \| form)	"component"	`component` (plain percent-decode) or `form` (also translates `+` to space).

Response

Modes: json, text. Cache: yes (24h TTL).
