Here is the example code:

<textarea id="json"></textarea>
<input type="button" id="json_to_url" value="JSON to URL &gt;" rows="10" cols="20" />
<input type="button" id="url_to_json" value="&lt; URL to JSON" rows="10" cols="20" />
<textarea id="url"></textarea>

JavaScript

// json to url
glow.events.addListener("input#json_to_url", "click", function(event) {
	try {
		// Get the JSON
		var json = glow.data.decodeJson(glow.dom.get("textarea#json").val());
		// Encode to URL
		var url = glow.data.encodeUrl(json);
		// Output the encoded URL
		glow.dom.get("textarea#url").val(url);
	}
	catch(e) {
		glow.dom.get("textarea#url").val("The JSON was not properly formatted");
	}
});

// url to json
glow.events.addListener("input#url_to_json", "click", function(event) {
	try {
		// Get the URL
		var url = glow.data.decodeUrl(glow.dom.get("textarea#url").val());
		// Encode To JSON
		var json = glow.data.encodeJson(url);
		// Output the encoded JSON
		glow.dom.get("textarea#json").val(json);
	}
	catch(e) {
		glow.dom.get("textarea#json").val("The URL was not properly formatted");
	}
});
