Encode text for safe use in URLs, or decode percent-encoded URLs back to plain text.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between this and Base64?

URL encoding (percent-encoding) is designed specifically for safely including text inside a URL, replacing unsafe characters with %XX sequences.

Does it encode the whole URL or just a component?

It encodes a single value using encodeURIComponent, which is correct for query parameters and path segments.
