okay so bestie, welcome to the MONGOC_URI_UNESCAPE(3) page from libmongoc 💖 this one is lowkey simple but highkey useful: it takes a URI-encoded string and unescapes it back to normal. slay. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

char *
mongoc_uri_unescape (const char *escaped_string);

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • escaped_string — a utf8 encoded string. that's the whole input, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Unescapes an URI encoded string. literally the glow-up from escape codes back to readable text 💅

for example, "%40" would become "@". iconic behavior fr fr ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

Returns a newly allocated string that should be freed with bson_free(). yes bestie, free it — don't leave your allocated memory just sitting there like an unread group chat 😭

If escaped_string contains an invalid UTF-8 character or an invalid escape sequence, it returns NULL. no cap, that's the dealbreaker vibe check 💀
