What URL-decode XML does

URL-decode XML reverses percent-encoding to recover the original XML text. It takes an encoded XML string and converts sequences like %XX into their corresponding characters, restoring human-readable content that may have been obscured during internet transmission. The output is a clean, decoded XML document ready for analysis or further processing.
