More than you ever want to see about encoding

Category: Tip, Utility

Paul Baukaus linked to jsescape, a little form that shows escaping and unescaping across a number of encodings.

Andrea Giammarchi had his own post on encodings in a different way…. as he talked about
en-code which you can check out in action here on the page that lets you do simple encodings, especially for source code, in short order.

Hmm — for some reason, AVG is reporting “http://www.3site.eu/encode/” as a threat. :/

@barryvan I do not know how it happened but apparently there was a js code at the end of the page which was not mine. I am investigating with my host provider right now it should be ok. Thanks and sorry for that

Really useful ! It would be great to enter text in one of the other text inputs and and the script encode/decode it in all the other encodings. Actually, this is only possible with the first input.

Thanks!

Seems broken in Firefox 3.5

@Darkimmortal, if you are talking about encode it should work in every browser … I mean, every, iPhone and Android Webkit versions included.

@Dion: It’s “Paul Bakaus”, not “Paul Baukaus”.

This is a tool I’ve wanted for a long time, in fact I’ve used it numerous times today. Thank you!

Cool. Thanks for the useful tips. I’ve been looking for this for a long time.

Very nice! I have my own encoder form that I frequently use, but not as complete and usable:

You might want to distinguish between encodeURI vs. encodeURIComponent – both of which I find useful in different circumstances.

Another related project for easily encoding a whole PHP file into javascript:

Funny how we long lacked such a tool.

This is really useful for internationalization and figuring out how to insert static text that won’t break the page.

A wedding dresses is always

expensive. Every couple will agree on this.When you are planning for

your wedding, you will probably find that every item can be very

expensive. This is especially true when it comes to the wedding dress.
You may think that there is no way for you to get a Wedding gown dresswhich is

elegant and at the same time cheap. However, I can tell you that there

are some ways to save money on this item.
So, the question here is how to make your white wedding dressinexpensive.
In fact, one thing you need to understand is that it is totally

possible for you to find a cheap

wedding dress which is also elegant and beautiful. You do not need

to sacrifice the quality just because you will need to search for cheap wedding gowns items.
As a matter of fact, one of the ways to get a bridal gowns is to wear the one

your mother wore when she got married. The point here is that you will

be wearing a bridal dresses

item and it will certainly be very stylish.

But the basic why escaping is useful and what characters will crash your web application using data via url-parameter, JSON … is more interessting than a plain converter!
