Why URL encoding matters

Reserved characters can break a request or quietly change what a parameter means if they are not encoded properly.

This matters most when you are nesting URLs, passing JSON in a query string, or trying to preserve spaces and symbols.

Encode values, not entire request syntax

In most cases you only want to encode the value, not the whole URL including `?`, `&`, and `=`.

That keeps the URL readable and saves you from accidental double encoding.
