encodeURI vs encodeURIComponent

encodeURIComponent: Encodes all special characters including /, ?, &, =, #. Use for encoding URL parameter values.

encodeURI: Preserves URL structure characters (/, ?, &, =, #, :). Use for encoding entire URLs while keeping them valid.

encodeURIComponent("a=b&c=d") → "a%3Db%26c%3Dd"
encodeURI("a=b&c=d") → "a=b&c=d" (unchanged)
