What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted in URLs.

Example:

becomes:

Hello%20World

This ensures URLs work correctly across browsers and servers.

Encode URLs in JavaScript

JavaScript provides:

encodeURIComponent()

Example:

encodeURIComponent("Hello World")

Result:

Hello%20World

Decode URLs in JavaScript

JavaScript also provides:

decodeURIComponent()

Example:

decodeURIComponent("Hello%20World")

Result:

Hello World

Encoding ensures:

  • Browser compatibility
