URL encoding and decoding

encodeURI vs encodeURIComponent

encodeURI leaves reserved characters like ? and # for full URLs. encodeURIComponent encodes nearly everything—use it for individual query values. Mixing them up is a common 400 Bad Request cause.

Plus signs and spaces

Query strings often treat + as space. Form encoding (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) differs from JSON bodies—match the content-type your server expects.

Unicode and IRIs

International domain names and UTF-8 paths need punycode and UTF-8 percent encoding. If decode output looks wrong, check whether the source was double-encoded.
