URL Encoder / Decoder

URLs look like simple strings, but they are governed by a strict set of rules about which characters are allowed where. Anything outside a small whitelist — spaces, special characters, non-ASCII text — must be percent-encoded to be safe inside a URL. This encoder and decoder converts text to and from URL-safe form in real time, helping you build query strings, decode shared links, and understand exactly what is being sent in an HTTP request.

It distinguishes between full-URL encoding (which preserves structural characters like slashes and colons) and component encoding (which escapes every special character), so you get the right behaviour whether you are building an entire URL or escaping a single parameter value. Useful for debugging tracking links, building OAuth callbacks, encoding search query strings, and reading the actual destination of a redirect URL.
