URL Encoder/Decoder

About URL Encoding

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

When to Use Different Encoding Types:

• Full URL Encoding: For complete URLs (spaces become %20)
• URL Component: For URL components like query parameters (spaces become +)
• Form Data: For application/x-www-form-urlencoded data (similar to URL component)

Common Encoded Characters:

• Space: %20 or +
• Ampersand (&): %26
• Equals (=): %3D
• Question Mark (?): %3F
• Slash (/): %2F
• Colon (:): %3A
