FAQ
What's the difference between Component and URI encoding?
Component (encodeURIComponent) encodes all special characters including : / ? # &. Use for query parameters or path segments. URI (encodeURI) preserves valid URL characters like : / ? #. Use for complete URLs.
Why do spaces become %20?
URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with % followed by hex values. Space = %20.
Can I decode multiple times?
Yes, you can decode repeatedly if the string was encoded multiple times.
