Encoding data to state parameter and decoding it

Hi,

I am developing an app in dropbox using OAuth2.0 authorization flow. It involves redirection as well. I would like to store some data and retrieve data after redirection. As stated in documentation, 'state' parameter can be used to store data and get back the same. How can I store data and retrieve? what encoding algorithm is used? Please advise.
