# $(pathdecode)

Returns a decoded version of path encoded input.

<Info>
  **The parsing for how paths are escaped/unescaped is often dependent on the programming language.**

  Fossabot is written in Go and uses the native path encoders/decoders. Please refer to the [**Go documentation**](https://pkg.go.dev/net/url#PathUnescape) if you come across any inconsistencies.
