## What It Does

Percent-encode and decode URL components, either the whole string or one component at a time. The distinction matters more than it looks: encoding a full URL turns its own ? and & into data, which is usually not what you want.

## Questions

### Should I encode the whole URL or just a parameter?

Usually only the parameter value. This tool encodes its entire input as one component; it has no separate whole-URL mode. To build a URL, encode a value first, then add it after the parameter name.
