This is the DTF string encoding transformer and it can be used to apply encoding functions to the properties to apply certain types of encoding to the property values.

The following are the availble encoding functions currently implemented.

xpath-escape
Used to escape XPATH expressions that may contain special characters such as " and '. This then allows you to use that expression without worries within the application of an XPATH expression.

url-encode
Used to encode any string into a URL safe format, mainly converting characters such as spaces, slashes into the right format so that they don't break URL parsing.

url-decode
Used to do the inverse of url-encode.
