What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding is the process of converting characters into a format that can be safely transmitted over the Internet. Since URLs can only use the ASCII character set, characters outside of this set need to be encoded into a valid ASCII format.
URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example:
- A space is usually encoded as a plus (
+
) sign or%20
. - Special characters like
#
and&
are replaced with their encoded equivalents (%23
,%26
).
This ensures that URLs remain intact and are correctly interpreted when transmitted across the web.
