Questions people ask
encodeURI or encodeURIComponent?+
Use encodeURIComponent for a single value (a query parameter or path part); it encodes / ? & = too. Use encodeURI for a whole URL you want to keep working.
Why is + a space?+
HTML forms send spaces as +. This decoder treats + as a space, which is right for query strings.
