Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs need encoding?
URLs can only contain certain ASCII characters. Special characters, spaces, and non-ASCII characters must be encoded to be transmitted safely.
What characters get encoded?
Characters like spaces, &, =, ?, #, and non-ASCII characters are replaced with percent-encoded equivalents.
Is URL encoding the same as Base64?
No, URL encoding (percent-encoding) is specifically designed for URLs, while Base64 is a general binary-to-text encoding.
