📖 About URL Encoder
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding) is a method of encoding special characters in URLs to ensure they are transmitted correctly over the internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits.
How URL Encoding Works
When text is URL encoded, each special character is converted to its UTF-8 byte representation, then each byte is expressed as a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, a space becomes %20 and an ampersand (&) becomes %26.
Common Use Cases
- Query Parameters: Encode values in URL query strings
- Form Submissions: Prepare data for GET/POST requests
- API Requests: Encode parameters for REST API calls
- Search URLs: Create safe search query URLs
- File Names: Encode special characters in file paths
- Deep Links: Create properly formatted app links
