About URL Encoding & Decoding

URLs are designed to accept only standard US-ASCII characters. Any other characters (such as spaces, question marks, backslashes, or non-English characters) hold special syntactic meanings or are unsupported. URL Encoding (also known as Percent Encoding) translates these characters into a % symbol followed by a two-digit hexadecimal notation.

Encoding Component vs. full URI:

  • Component mode: Translates all special characters including punctuation marks like /, ?, :, and &. Perfect for queries or path elements.
  • Full URI mode: Keeps routing characters (like http://, /, or query parameters) intact, translating only spaces and special characters.
