About URL Encoding / Decoding

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.

This is necessary because URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character set. URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with a % followed by hexadecimal digits to ensure the URL is valid.

When to use URL Encoding?

• When including special characters in query strings or URL parameters.
• When transmitting data via HTTP requests.
