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.
Characters that need to be encoded:
- Reserved characters like
?, &, =, /, :, ;, +etc. - Unsafe characters like spaces, quotes, angle brackets, etc.
- Characters outside the ASCII set (e.g., accented characters, emojis)
Common URL encoding examples:
| Character | URL Encoded | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Space | %20 | Space character |
| & | %26 | Ampersand (parameter separator) |
| = | %3D | Equals sign (value assignment) |
| ? | %3F | Question mark (query start) |
| / | %2F | Forward slash (path separator) |
| + | %2B | Plus sign |
