Percent-encoding makes a string safe to drop into a URL: characters with special meaning — like &, ?, =, / and spaces — are replaced with % escapes so they are treated as literal data rather than URL syntax. Encode here uses encodeURIComponent and decode uses decodeURIComponent, the same functions your browser and Node runtime use.
One caveat: encodeURIComponent is meant for individual components (a single query value or path segment), not a whole URL — it will escape the :, / and ? that give a full URL its structure. Encode each value separately, then assemble the URL around them.
