What is URL encoding?
URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely used in a web address. For example, spaces become %20 and other reserved characters are percent-encoded.
Why use a URL encoder or decoder?
A URL encoder helps prepare text for query strings, links, and API requests. A decoder helps turn encoded strings back into readable text when you need to debug or inspect URLs.
Common use cases
- Encoding query parameters
- Decoding percent-encoded links
- Working with API requests
- Debugging web application URLs
Examples
Original text:
hello world@example.com
