URL encoding converts special characters (spaces, symbols, non-ASCII) into a format safe for URLs. For example, spaces become %20. It's essential for passing data in query strings and form submissions.
We use encodeURIComponent which encodes all special characters including / ? & = #. This is the safest method for encoding individual query parameter values.
