What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the Internet. Special characters are replaced with % followed by hexadecimal values.
Common Use Cases:
- Encoding query parameters in URLs
- Making spaces and special characters URL-safe
- Handling international characters in URLs
- Encoding form data for HTTP requests
Examples:
Original Text:
Hello World!URL Encoded:
Hello%20World!
Original Text:
user@example.comURL Encoded:
user%40example.com
Query Parameter Example:
Original: search=hello world&lang=en Encoded: search=hello%20world&lang=en
Common Encoded Characters:
- Space → %20
- ! → %21
- # → %23
- $ → %24
- & → %26
- @ → %40
- + → %2B
