About URL Encoding

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. Special characters are replaced with a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits. This is essential for passing data in URLs, especially when dealing with special characters, spaces, or non-ASCII characters.

Common Use Cases

  • Encoding query parameters in URLs
  • Handling special characters in web forms
  • Passing data through URL parameters
  • Encoding filenames and paths
  • API request parameters
