In this post, we will learn how to encode and decode URLs in Java with examples. URLEncoder Class Overview URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is actually a web address. A URL can contain words i.e. (dotnettutorials.net) or an Internet Protocol (IP) address i.e.192.168.67.52. But most of the user use URL in the form of words because it is easy to remember than numbers. A URL is used by web browsers to request documents from webservers. Example 2: If the user request is such that the parameter value contains no special characters and spaces as [email protected] The encoded string looks like the following: u%40JavaTPoint. Encoding URL. In order to encode a URL Java URLEncoder class provides the encode() method. URLEncoder.encode( ) The OWASP Java Encoder library is intended for quick contextual encoding with very little overhead, either in performance or usage. To get started, simply add the encoder-1.2.3.jar, import org.owasp.encoder.Encode and start encoding. Please look at the javadoc for Encode, to see the variety of contexts for which you can encode. The first takes a String argument and returns the encoded version as a String. The second version writes the encoded version directly to a Writer. Please make sure to read and understand the context that the method encodes for. Encoding for the incorrect context will likely lead to exposing a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The JSTL url tag is just an alternative method of writing the call to the response.encodeURL () method. The only real advantage the url tag provides is proper URL encoding, including any parameters specified by children param tag. Attribute The Note: You'll also need to encode the FORM ACTION URL.
