What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?

encodeURI preserves functional URL separators like "http://", "/", and "?" while encoding spaces and special characters. encodeURIComponent encodes all special characters including "/", making it suitable for query parameter values.

Are my query strings or authentication tokens secure?

Yes. All decoding and encoding executes strictly in client-side JavaScript. No URLs or parameter values are ever sent to a server.

Can I swap the input and output easily?

Yes. Click the "Swap" button to toggle the output text back into the input field and reverse the conversion mode.
