What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet.
Example:
space → %20
Example URL:
hello world
Encoded URL:
hello%20world
Why Developers Use URL Encoding
URL encoding prevents errors when sending data through URLs.
It is commonly used in:
• query parameters
• API requests
• form submissions
• redirect URLs
JavaScript Example
encodeURIComponent("hello world")
Output:
hello%20world
Decode URLs
Decoding restores the original value.
decodeURIComponent("hello%20world")
