About URL Encoder
What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a process of converting special characters in a URL into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. It replaces characters like spaces, quotes, or symbols with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, a space becomes "%20".
Why is URL Encoding Important?
URL encoding is essential for ensuring that URLs are valid and readable by browsers and servers. Special characters or spaces in URLs can break links if not encoded properly. By encoding text, you make URLs safe for sharing and embedding in web applications.
