miji.beURL encoding of space, + and %
The space, + and % encode differently depending on the method. This table compares encodeURIComponent, encodeURI and form submission.
Characters in this table: 3
Encoding table
| Method | space | + | % | ||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
encodeURI| %20 | %2B | %25 | encodeURI | %20 | + | %25 | Form submission | + | %2B | %25 | Code
point | U+0020 | U+002B | U+0025 | UTF-8
(hex) | 20 | 2B | 25 | RFC 3986
class | Other | Reserved (sub-delims) | Other | |
The encoded value is the result of JavaScript's encodeURIComponent applied to each character. A character that is encoded is written as % followed by two hexadecimal digits for every UTF-8 byte.
The classes follow RFC 3986. Unreserved characters can appear in a URL as they are. Reserved characters delimit the parts of a URL, and encodeURIComponent leaves the reserved characters ! ' ( ) * unencoded. Other characters are always encoded.
In form submission (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), a space becomes + and + itself becomes %2B. encodeURI and encodeURIComponent turn a space into %20.
