URL Encoder
Encode a URL's query string correctly the first time, including the edge cases.
URL encoding for API calls and query parameters had edge cases — double-encoding, Unicode — that fragmented online tools handled inconsistently.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Encoding and decoding URLs for API calls, query parameters, and special characters required terminal commands or fragmented online tools that didn't handle edge cases well.
After
Delivered a comprehensive URL manipulation tool that handles edge cases like double-encoding, Unicode characters, and reserved character escaping. The query string builder eliminates manual URL construction errors.
How it's solved
Built a URL encoding/decoding tool with component-wise encoding (path vs query vs fragment), query string builder with parameter validation, batch encode/decode, and URL parsing visualization showing each component.
Trade-offs
It handles standard encoding schemes — some non-standard or legacy URL formats may need manual handling.
