What is URL Encoding?
URL Encoding (also known as Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform
Resource Identifier (URI).
Characters that are not allowed in a URL (like spaces, emojis, or symbols like ? and
&) must be translated into a safe format.
For example, a space becomes %20 and an exclamation mark becomes %21.
Why decode URLs client-side?
URLs often contain Query Strings or UTM Parameters that hold sensitive data like email addresses, session IDs, or reset tokens.
