Try It NowURL encoding (also called percent encoding) is a method to encode information in URLs by replacing unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the character's ASCII code.
URL encoding, also known as percent encoding, is a method to encode information in URLs by replacing unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. It's crucial for:

encodeURI(): Encodes fewer characters, leaving characters like :, /, ?, # intact
Use encodeURIComponent() for URL parameters and encodeURI() for full URLs.
