Frequently Asked Questions
What characters are encoded?
All characters except A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and - _ . ~ are percent-encoded. This follows the RFC 3986 standard.
Does it handle full URLs?
It's best for encoding individual components (query values, path segments). For full URLs, encode each part separately to avoid double-encoding.
