About URL Encoding:

• URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet
• Also known as percent-encoding because it uses '%' followed by hexadecimal digits
• Different encoding types are used for different parts of a URL:
  • Full URL Encoding: Encodes all special characters (for entire URLs)
  • URL Component Encoding: Preserves some special characters (for query parameters)
  • Form URL Encoding: Similar to component but encodes spaces as '+' (for form data)
• Spaces are encoded as %20 in URL encoding and as + in form encoding
• Always encode user input before using it in URLs to prevent injection and ensure proper formatting
