About URL Encoding

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 a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Encoding Types

• Standard: Encodes only special characters (recommended for query parameters)
• Full URL: Encodes all characters including :, /, ?, & (for complete URL encoding)

Common Uses

• Encoding URL query parameters
• Safely passing data in URLs
• API request parameters
• Form data submission

Examples

• Space → %20
• ! → %21
• @ → %40
• # → %23
