Guess what I found today? A super cool tool called a **URL Encoder/Decoder**! π It's like a magical translator for websites! Let me tell you all about it!
π€ What is it?
Imagine you're sending a secret message to a friend, but the message has to go through a super tricky path to reach them. Sometimes, words or symbols in the message can get lost or mixed up along the way. That's where the **URL Encoder/Decoder** comes in! π
A **URL Encoder** takes the message (or URL) and changes it into a special code that's safe to send through the tricky path. This special code is called "percent encoding." On the other hand, a **URL Decoder** takes that special code and turns it back into the original message. It's like magic! πͺβ¨
π οΈ How to Use It
Using the **URL Encoder/Decoder** is super easy! Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. **Enter Your Data:** - Go to a website that has a URL Encoder/Decoder tool. - In the big box, type or paste the URL or message you want to change.
2. **Choose What to Do:** - If you want to turn your message into a special code, click "Encode." - If you have a special code and want to see the original message, click "Decode."
3. **Click the Button:** - After you choose, click the "Go" or "Process" button.
4. **See the Result:** - The tool will show you the new message or code! - You can copy it or save it to use later.
