Subject: [Dev][Encoding Special Charactors] Throws an Character Out Of
Range exception
To: WSO2 Developers' List <dev@wso2.org>
Hi All,
When Encoding String including special / Latin characters throws an
Character Out Of Range exception when we use *encodeURIComponent and
decodeURIComponent* methods which was recommended to used behalf of *escape
and unescape* since there are deprecated.
Using *escape and unescape* does not cause the above issues and Mozilla
Developer Network Publication[1] still encourage to use *escape and
unescape *alone with the *encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent. *
Recommended Approach is given below.
function utf8_to_b64(str) {
return window.btoa(escape(encodeURIComponent(str)));}
function b64_to_utf8(str) {
return decodeURIComponent(unescape(window.atob(str)));}
If we replace *escape and unescape with **encodeURIComponent and
decodeURIComponent *the functions seems recursive as given below.
function utf8_to_b64(str) {
return window.btoa(encodeURIComponent(encodeURIComponent(str)));
}
function b64_to_utf8(str) {
return decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(window.atob(str)));
}
Which is the most appropriate way of utilising the above function?
