JavaScript URI parameter encoding

Read Original

The article details a developer's troubleshooting experience with special character encoding in HTTP requests. While using encode() and decode() in a JavaScript Ajax library, Swedish characters (å, ä, ö) were corrupted. The solution was to use encodeURIComponent(), which properly encodes a broader range of characters for URI parameters, ensuring correct data transmission between client and server.
