Package description
The encodeurl npm package is used to encode a URL to a percent-encoded form, excluding already-encoded sequences. This is particularly useful when you need to encode a URL in a way that is safe to include in HTTP headers and HTML links without double-encoding existing percent-encoded characters.
Percent-encoding URL
This feature allows you to encode a URL into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. The code sample demonstrates how to encode a URL with query parameters, ensuring that spaces and other special characters are properly percent-encoded.
const encodeUrl = require('encodeurl');
const encodedUrl = encodeUrl('https://example.com/foo?user=bar+baz');
console.log(encodedUrl);
The querystring package provides utilities for parsing and formatting URL query strings. It can be used to percent-encode a query string, but unlike encodeurl, it is specifically designed for handling the query string part of a URL and not the entire URL.
Similar to querystring, the qs package allows for parsing and stringifying query strings with more advanced features like nested objects. It also handles percent-encoding but is focused on the query string component rather than full URLs.
The urlencode package is another alternative for percent-encoding URLs and query strings. It offers similar functionality to encodeurl but with a slightly different API and additional options for encoding.
