Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to encode URLs?
Encode when URLs contain special characters (spaces, &, =, etc.) that have meaning in URLs. Parameters passed in query strings often need encoding.
What's the difference between encode and encodeComponent?
encode preserves characters like /, ?, & that structure URLs. encodeComponent encodes everything except letters and numbers. Use component for parameter values.
Why does my URL have %20 or + for spaces?
%20 is URL-encoded space. + is an alternative in query strings. Both represent spaces. Different contexts prefer different encodings.
