What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) replaces special characters with a % sign followed by their hexadecimal value. This is necessary because URLs can only contain certain characters from the ASCII character set. Spaces become %20, special characters like & become %26, etc.
When do you need URL encoding?
- Passing special characters in query string parameters
- Encoding non-ASCII characters in URLs
- Building API requests with dynamic parameters
- Encoding form data for HTTP requests
