Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding converts special characters into a percent-encoded format (e.g., space becomes %20) so they can be safely transmitted in URLs.

encodeURI encodes a full URI but preserves characters like :, /, and ?. encodeURIComponent encodes everything except letters, digits, and a few special characters, making it suitable for query parameter values.
