URL Encoder/Decoder

What is URL Encoding

URL encoding translates characters into an Internet-compatible format. URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character set. Because URLs frequently contain non-ASCII characters, they must be converted to a correct ASCII format. For unsafe ASCII characters, URL encoding substitutes a percent (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits. URLs may not include spaces. Most of the time, URL encoding replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or percent 20 (%20).

What is URL Decoding

URL decoding is simply the process of turning an encoded URL string into its conventional or readable form. It changes a collection of a percent (%) and hexadecimal values (used in the encoding process) to convert it to standard or regular form.
