QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is URL encoding?
A URL can only contain a limited set of characters. Everything else, such as spaces, Cyrillic letters or &, is written as % followed by hexadecimal bytes. A space becomes %20, and é becomes %C3%A9.
Component or full URL: which should I use?
Encode a component when you insert a single value into a URL, such as a search query or a redirect address inside a query parameter: this also encodes / ? & and =. Encode the full URL when you have a whole address with spaces or non-Latin characters and want to keep its structure intact.
Why do I see + instead of %20?
HTML forms encode spaces as + in query strings, and in query parameters both mean a space. Tick "Treat + as space" when you decode form data.
