About URL Encoding
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (percent encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet safely.
- • Replaces unsafe characters with % followed by hex codes
- • Spaces become %20 (or + in form data)
- • Special characters like @#$%^&*() are encoded
- • Required for URLs with special characters
Common Use Cases
- • URL parameters with special characters
- • Form data submission
- • API query strings
- • File names in URLs
- • Search queries
- • Email addresses in URLs
Common Encodings
Space → %20! → %21# → %23$ → %24% → %25& → %26+ → %2B= → %3D
