When to Use URL Encoding

URL encoding replaces unsafe characters with a % followed by two hex digits. Use encodeURIComponent when encoding query string parameters, and encodeURI when encoding a full URL. Special characters like spaces, &, = and ? must be encoded in query strings to prevent them from being interpreted as URL delimiters.
