FAQ
What is URL encoding?
URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with percent-encoded equivalents (e.g., space becomes %20) so they can be safely transmitted in URLs.
When should I URL encode?
Encode when passing special characters in query parameters, form data, or any part of a URL that may contain spaces or symbols.
