Converting x-www-form-urlencoded Data

Name/value pairs that are formatted using the x-www-form-urlencoded specification appear as:
name1=value1&name2=value2
where nameN and valueN must be escaped. For example, a+b will appear as a%2Bb when escaped. The URLEncoder and URLDecoder classes are used to escape the names and values.
try { // Construct a x-www-form-urlencoded string String line = URLEncoder.encode("name1", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value1", "UTF-8"); line += "&" + URLEncoder.encode("name2", "UTF-8") + "=" + URLEncoder.encode("value2", "UTF-8"); // Parse a x-www-form-urlencoded string String[] pairs = line.split("\\&"); for (int i=0; i<pairs.length; i++) { String[] fields = pairs[i].split("="); String name = URLDecoder.decode(fields[0], "UTF-8"); String value = URLDecoder.decode(fields[1], "UTF-8"); } } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { }
