What is the purpose of URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. It is possible to put only a few characters in URLs: ASCII letters, digits and special characters such as, _, – and ~. All other characters should be percent-encoded.
When is it necessary to use URL encoder?
There are many scenarios where URL encoding is a must:
- Web Development: Encode query parameters/ form data.
- API Requests: Safely transmit special characters in URLs.
- SEO: Use special characters in urls.
- Follow-up: Encode mailto links with special characters in email.
- Data Transfer: Safely send non-ASCII text in URLs.
- HTML Links: Encode href attributes with special characters.
Component vs Full URL Encoding
- Component Encoding will only encode the special characters that would cause invalid URL syntax. For encoding query parameter values, path segments, or fragments. Spaces are replaced by %20, ampersands are replaced by %26.
- Full URL Encoding – encodes everything in the URL: https://, domain and path. Use this for encoding an entire URL to send or store.
