function unescape

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { unescape } from "node:node__querystring.d.ts"; ```
unescape(str: string): string
The `querystring.unescape()` method performs decoding of URL percent-encoded characters on the given `str`. The `querystring.unescape()` method is used by `querystring.parse()` and is generally not expected to be used directly. It is exported primarily to allow application code to provide a replacement decoding implementation if necessary by assigning `querystring.unescape` to an alternative function. By default, the `querystring.unescape()` method will attempt to use the JavaScript built-in `decodeURIComponent()` method to decode. If that fails, a safer equivalent that does not throw on malformed URLs will be used.

Parameters

str: string

Return Type

string
