About URL Encoding
URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) under certain circumstances. URL encoding is used when placing text in a query string to avoid it being interpreted as URL syntax, and to handle characters outside the ASCII set.
When to Use URL Encoding
- Query Parameters: When adding parameters to a URL that contain special characters.
- Form Submissions: When submitting form data via GET or POST methods.
- API Requests: When making API calls that require URL parameters.
- Internationalization: When URLs contain non-ASCII characters or Unicode.
- Avoiding Conflicts: When using characters that have special meaning in URLs (like ?, &, =, #).
Characters That Need Encoding
- Reserved Characters: : / ? # [ ] @ ! $ & ' ( ) * + , ; =
- Unsafe Characters: Space, ", <, >, %, {, }, |, \, ^, `
- Non-ASCII Characters: Characters outside the ASCII set (e.g., é, ñ, 漢)
- Control Characters: ASCII characters 0-31 and 127
