internals:internals-tilde-encoding internals internals-tilde-encoding Tilde encoding Datasette uses a custom encoding scheme in some places, called tilde encoding . This is primarily used for table names and row primary keys, to avoid any confusion between / characters in those values and the Datasette URLs that reference them. Tilde encoding uses the same algorithm as URL percent-encoding , but with the ~ tilde character used in place of % . Any character other than ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_- will be replaced by the numeric equivalent preceded by a tilde. For example: / becomes ~2F . becomes ~2E % becomes ~25 ~ becomes ~7E Space becomes + polls/2022.primary becomes polls~2F2022~2Eprimary Note that the space character is a special case: it will be replaced with a + symbol. datasette.utils. tilde_encode s : str str Returns tilde-encoded string - for example /foo/bar -> ~2Ffoo~2Fbar datasette.utils. tilde_decode s : str str Decodes a tilde-encoded string, so ~2Ffoo~2Fbar -> /foo/bar ["Internals for plugins", "The datasette.utils module"] [{"href": "https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/percent-encoding", "label": "URL percent-encoding"}]
