Why is URL Encoding/Decoding Important?
1. Web Compatibility
Web browsers can not handle spaces and special characters in URLs. Encoding replaces these with safe representations.
2. Data Security
Encoding ensures that special characters (like &, =, +, #) don not break query strings or URL parameters. It prevents data corruption in APIs and HTTP requests.
3. Email & Form Submissions
When users submit forms or send links via email, encoding prevents the data from being misinterpreted or lost in transit.
