What is URL encoding?

URL encoding (also called percent encoding) converts special characters in a URL into %XX format, where XX is the hexadecimal representation. This ensures URLs are valid and can be safely transmitted over the internet.

What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?

encodeURI encodes a full URL but preserves characters like :, /, ?, &, =, #. encodeURIComponent encodes all special characters and is used for encoding URL parameters or values.

What does URL parsing do?

URL parsing breaks down a URL into its components such as protocol, hostname, port, pathname, search string, and hash. It also extracts and displays all query parameters as key-value pairs for easy inspection and debugging.
