What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) converts special characters in URLs into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. Special characters like spaces, ampersands, and non-ASCII characters are converted to % followed by hexadecimal values.

When to Use URL Encoding

  • Query Parameters: Encode values in URL query strings
  • Special Characters: Handle spaces, &, =, ?, # in URLs
  • API Requests: Properly format URLs for API calls
  • Form Data: Encode form submissions in URLs
