FAQ

What is the difference between encodeURIComponent and encodeURI?

encodeURIComponent encodes individual URL components like query parameters, while encodeURI encodes a full URL. encodeURIComponent encodes more special characters.

Why is URL encoding necessary?

URL encoding converts special characters and non-ASCII characters into percent-encoded format so they can be safely included in URLs.
