FAQ
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent encoding) converts characters that are not allowed in URLs into a format using % followed by hexadecimal values. For example, a space becomes %20.
When should I encode a URL?
Encode URLs when passing data through query parameters, handling user input in URLs, working with non-ASCII characters, or when URLs contain reserved characters like &, =, or ?.
What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI encodes a complete URL but preserves characters like /, :, and ?. encodeURIComponent encodes all special characters and is used for encoding individual URL components like query values.
