Frequently Asked Questions

Why is URL encoding (percent-encoding) required?

URLs can only contain a limited set of ASCII characters. Special characters like spaces, question marks, ampersands, and unicode characters must be percent-encoded to prevent malformed requests.

What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?

encodeURI preserves standard protocol and pathname delimiters (: / ? #), whereas encodeURIComponent encodes all reserved punctuation characters, making it suitable for query parameter values.
