đ About URL Encoding
URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces unsafe or reserved characters with a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the character's ASCII value.
Why encode URLs? URLs can only contain certain characters from the ASCII set. Characters like spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters must be encoded to be valid in URLs.
When to use:
- Query parameters with special characters
- File names with spaces or symbols
- User input in URL paths
- API requests with complex data
