Questions
Component or full URL?
“Component” encodes every reserved character (like / ? & =) and is right for a single query value. “Full URL” keeps the URL structure intact and only encodes characters that are not allowed anywhere in a URL.
Why do spaces become %20 or +?
Both are valid in query strings. This tool uses %20, which works everywhere. When decoding, “+” is treated as a space.
