FAQ
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces unsafe characters with a % followed by their hex code. For example, a space becomes %20. This ensures URLs are valid and transmitted correctly.
When should I URL encode?
URL encode when including user input in query parameters, form data, or any part of a URL that may contain special characters like &, =, ?, #, or spaces.
