URL Encoder & Decoder

Percent-encode or decode text for use in URLs. Component vs full URL modes.

Percent-encode a string so it can safely appear in a URL, or decode a percent-encoded string back to text. Supports two modes: "component" (encodeURIComponent — reserved chars escaped) and "full URL" (encodeURI — preserves /, :, ?, # etc.).
