encodeURIComponent vs encodeURI

This tool uses encodeURIComponent, which is designed to encode a component of a URI (like a query parameter value). It encodes almost all characters, including /, ?, and &.

If you need to encode an entire URL while preserving its structure (keeping / and ? unencoded), you would typically use encodeURI instead.
