What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding (also known as percent encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It ensures that URLs contain only valid characters and can be safely transmitted over the internet.
๐ฏ Why URL Encoding is Important
- Special Characters: Handle spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters
- URL Safety: Ensure URLs are valid and safe to transmit
- Web Standards: Follow RFC 3986 URL encoding standards
- Cross-Platform: Work consistently across different systems
- Data Integrity: Preserve data during URL transmission
- Security: Prevent URL injection and manipulation attacks
