What is URL Encoding?
URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It converts reserved characters that have special meaning in URLs (like spaces, ampersands, or slashes) into a representation that is universally safe to be transmitted over the internet. For example, a space is converted to `%20` and an ampersand `&` is converted to `%26`. This ensures that web servers and browsers correctly interpret the URL and its parameters.
