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.

Space	%20	!	%21
