What is meant by urlencode and urldecode?

Question

Which protocol will be used to implement service based interfaces in 5G core ? Would it be REST based interface or something else ?

Answer 1

urlencode() returns the URL encoded version of the given string. URL coding converts special characters into % signs followed by two hex digits.
For example:
urlencode("10.00%") will return "10%2E00%25".
URL encoded strings are safe to be used as part of URLs.
urldecode() returns the URL decoded version of the given string.
