No data is sent to any server.\n\n## Demo\n\n[Open Meshtastic Link Decoder](https://elebree.github.io/meshlink)\n\n## Types of Meshtastic URLs\n\nMeshtastic uses special URL formats to share configuration data in a compact and portable way. These links can be exchanged between devices or users to quickly set up networks or contacts.\n\nThe most common types are:\n\n- **Channel Links** contain channel settings, such as frequency, encryption keys, and modulation parameters.\n- **Contact Links** share a single contact identity or node information (e.g., long name, short name, hardware ID).\n\n## How Meshtastic URLs Are Encoded\n\nMeshtastic URLs are a compact, URL-safe representation of binary protobuf messages. The encoding process works as follows:\n\n1. **Protobuf Serialization**\n   Configuration objects (channel, contact, etc.) are serialized using Meshtastic’s protobuf schema.\n\n2. **Base64-URL Encoding**\n   The binary blob is encoded using a URL-safe variant of Base64 (replacing `+` and `/` with `-` and `_`). This ensures compatibility with browsers and messaging apps.\n\n3. **Prefixing with Path Identifier**\n   The encoded data is appended to a base URL, typically `https://meshtastic.org/`, with a single-letter path to indicate the type:\n\n- `/e/` → Encoded **channel**\n- `/c/` → Encoded **contact**\n\n4. **Decoding**\n   To reverse the process:\n\n- Extract the Base64 string from the URL.\n- Decode it back into binary.\n- Parse the protobuf message into JSON.\n\nThis tool automates that decoding process entirely within your browser.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felebree%2Fmeshlink","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Felebree%2Fmeshlink","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felebree%2Fmeshlink/lists"}
