URL encoding (also called percent encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in URLs. It's essential when URLs contain special characters or spaces that need to be transmitted safely over the internet.
When to Use URL Encoding:
- • Query parameters with spaces or special characters
- • Form data submission
- • API requests with dynamic parameters
- • Storing URLs in databases
- • Email links with parameters
