How do you decode an URL in Javascript?

Posted by Jennifer | Updated on September 6, 2020

The decodeURI() function is used to decode a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) previously created by encodeURI().

var uri = 'https://mozilla.org/?x=шеллы';

var encoded = encodeURI(uri);

console.log(encoded); // https://mozilla.org/?x=%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BB%D1%8B

try {

console.log(decodeURI(encoded)); // "https://mozilla.org/?x=шеллы"

} catch(e) { // catches a malformed URI

console.error(e);

}
