decode-uri-component accurately decodes URI components, handling malformed or invalid sequences often encountered in URLs. Unlike the built-in decodeURIComponent, it gracefully manages edge cases, mitigating potential security vulnerabilities and preventing application crashes. This package replaces invalid UTF-8 sequences with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD) ensuring consistent and predictable decoding, crucial for applications processing user-supplied or potentially untrusted URI data. It's a recommended alternative for robust decoding in various Node.js and browser environments.
