URL Encode and Decode Tool

Overview and Usage

The URL Encode and Decode Tool allows you to easily encode and decode URLs. Encoding is useful for ensuring that URLs are valid by escaping characters that could interfere with URL parsing. Decoding reverses this process, translating encoded sections of a URL back to their original characters.

How to Use:

1. Enter or paste the text you want to encode or decode into the provided text area.
2. Click the "Encode" button to convert the text to a URL-encoded format.
3. Click the "Decode" button to convert a URL-encoded string back to its original text.

Common Use Cases:

• Encoding URLs to ensure they are valid and safe for use in web browsers.
• Decoding URLs to display readable text in web applications or logs.
• Handling URL parameters that contain special characters or spaces.

Benefits of URL Encoding:

• Ensures that URLs are properly formatted and can be parsed correctly by web browsers.
• Prevents issues with special characters that may have specific meanings in URLs.
• Improves the reliability and security of web applications by avoiding malformed URLs.

Error Handling:

• If an error occurs during decoding, an error message will be displayed.
• Ensure that the text to be decoded is a valid URL-encoded string to avoid errors.
