Q: What is URL encoding and when do I need it?
A: URL encoding converts special characters into percent-encoded format (%XX) for safe transmission in URLs. Required for spaces, symbols, and non-ASCII characters in URLs.
Q: What's the difference between %20 and + for spaces?
A: %20 is standard URL encoding for spaces. + is form encoding (application/x-www-form-urlencoded). Use %20 for URLs, + for form data.
