About URL Encoding
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character set. Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, they must be converted to a valid ASCII format.
Common Uses
- Encoding special characters in query parameters
- Handling form data submission
- Creating SEO-friendly URLs
- Encoding data for API requests
- Handling internationalized domain names
