About URL Encoding
URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. Special characters like spaces, ampersands, and question marks are replaced with percent signs followed by two hexadecimal digits.
When to Encode
Encode URLs when you need to include special characters in query parameters, form data submissions, or when building API requests. For example, a space becomes %20 and an ampersand becomes %26.
When to Decode
Decode URLs when you receive encoded data and need to read the original text. This is useful for parsing query strings, reading encoded email links, or debugging API responses.
