Thanks for your response. I have since implemented a simple parser that converts any %xx to the ASCII character (which you are correct with my aim to simply make it more readable). I have tested this and it works fine. So if, in a future FreeSWITCH version, no %xx characters are used inside the values it will just work anyway.<br>
<br>
I take your point about the newline character.<br>

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Re- Hex values inside ESL "plain" event messages?<br>
<br>
A plain message couldn't safely (for parsing purposes) include all of the characters that would be completely valid in json.<br>
<br>
Take a newline for example. That would simply encode to \n in the text of a json message, but would completely screw up the plain format one.<br>
<br>
As for the selection of which characters get encoded, that I don't have any info on. Below I see colons and spaces inconsistently encoded. While probably not critical, it seems like a relatively safe choice.<br>
<br>
Simple matter - since the plain message can't possibly cover the entire character set - you have to support decoding, at which point, it shouldn't matter which ones are encoded for anything other than human readability.<br>
