Encode or decode URL components locally.
URL encoding replaces non‑safe characters with %HH hex escapes. Use encodeURIComponent for individual query values, not whole URLs.
%20 (not + which is form‑encoding).&, =, ? are encoded in values.URL/URLSearchParams.No data leaves your browser.
For large payloads, consider line breaks and formatting.
