Deprecated. Deprecated since XINS 1.4.0. Use class URLEncoding instead.

public final class WhislEncoding

extends Object

Whisl encoding utility functions. This class currently only supports encoding.

The Whisl encoding is similar to URL encoding, but specifically meant to support the complete Unicode character set.

The following transformations should be applied when decoding:

• a plus sign ('+') converts to a space character;
• a percent sign ('%') must be followed by a 2-digit hex number that indicate the Unicode value of a single character;
• a dollar sign ('$') must be followed by a 4-digit hex number that indicate the Unicode value of a single character;

Since:

XINS 1.0.0
