Function zalgo_codec_common::zalgo_decode

pub fn zalgo_decode(encoded: &str) -> Result<String, FromUtf8Error>

Takes in a string that was encoded by zalgo_encode and decodes it back into an ASCII string.

Error

Returns an error if the decoded string is not valid UTF-8. This can happen if the input is a string that was not encoded by zalgo_encode, since the byte manipulations that this function does could result in invalid unicode in that case. Even if no error is returned in such a case the results are not meaningful. If you want to be able to decode without this check, consider using a ZalgoString.

Examples

assert_eq!(zalgo_decode("É̺͇͌͏").unwrap(), "Zalgo");

Decoding arbitrary strings not produced by zalgo_encode will most likely lead to errors, and if it doesn’t the results are not meaningful:

assert!(zalgo_decode("Shmårgl").is_err());
