Frequently Asked Questions
What is URL encoding?
URL Encoding (or percent-encoding) replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a '%' followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, a space becomes '%20'.
Why do I need to encode URLs?
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If your URL contains special characters or spaces, they must be encoded so the browser and server can process the link correctly without breaking.
