🔗 What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) converts characters that aren't allowed in URLs into a format that can be safely transmitted. For example, a space becomes %20 and an ampersand (&) becomes %26.

When to Use URL Encoding

  • Passing data in URL query parameters
  • Including special characters in URLs
  • Building API requests with dynamic values
  • Ensuring URLs work across all browsers

Common Encodings

space → %20
& → %26
= → %3D
? → %3F
# → %23
@ → %40
