URL Encode/Decode

Encode or decode URL components

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. Special characters are replaced with a % followed by their hex value.

When to use URL encoding

Use URL encoding when passing query parameters, form data, or any special characters in a URL. For example, spaces become %20 and & becomes %26.
