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.
