About URL Encoding

URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It converts characters that may be unsafe or have special meanings into a format that can be transmitted over the internet.

When to Use URL Encoding:

When URLs contain spaces or special characters
When submitting form data via GET requests
When passing parameters in API URLs
When URLs need to be embedded in HTML or JavaScript
