Frequently Asked Questions
When is URL encoding needed?
When you want to put special characters, spaces or non-Latin letters in a URL or query parameter; these must be percent-encoded (%xx).

encodeURIComponent encodes almost all special characters and suits a single value/parameter; encodeURI preserves the overall URL structure and is for a whole address.
