What is URL Encode and Decode

URL encode and Decode also known as percent-encoding is a method to encode arbitrary data in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) using only the limited US-ASCII characters legal within a URI.

Although it is known as URL encoding, it is, in fact, used more generally within the main Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) set, which includes both Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and Uniform Resource Name (URN). As such, it is also used in the preparation of data of the application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type, as is often used in the submission of HTML form data in HTTP requests.

Why do I need URL encoding?

The URL specification RFC 1738 states that only a small set of characters can be used in a URL. Those characters are:

• A to Z (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
• a to z (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)
• 0 to 9 (0123456789)
• $ (Dollar Sign)
• - (Hyphen / Dash)
• _ (Underscore)
• . (Period)
• + (Plus sign)
• ! (Exclamation / Bang)
• * (Asterisk / Star)
• ’ (Single Quote)
• ( (Open Bracket)
• ) (Closing Bracket)

How does URL encoding work?

All non-supporting characters are replaced by a % and a two digit hexadecimal value that represents the character in the proper ISO character set. Here are a couple of examples:

• $ (Dollar Sign) becomes %24
• & (Ampersand) becomes %26
• + (Plus) becomes %2B
• , (Comma) becomes %2C
• : (Colon) becomes %3A
• ; (Semi-Colon) becomes %3B
• = (Equals) becomes %3D
• ? (Question Mark) becomes %3F
• @ (Commercial A / At) becomes %40
