What Is URL Encoding?

URL encoding, also known as percent encoding, is the process of converting characters that are not allowed or have special meanings in URLs into a safe format using hexadecimal values preceded by the percent (%) symbol.

For example, a space is encoded as %20, while characters such as &, = and ? are also encoded when necessary to avoid ambiguity.

Why Use URL Encoding?

URLs can only contain a limited set of characters. Characters such as spaces, symbols and many international characters must be encoded to ensure they are transmitted correctly between browsers, web servers and APIs.

Proper URL encoding prevents broken links, malformed requests and unexpected behavior in web applications.
