JavaScript encode and escape functions

The encodeURI, encodeURIComponent and escape functions convert special characters in URLs and other URIs by percent encoding the special characters.

JavaScript: encodeURI functionThe JavaScript encodeURI function is used to encode an entire unencoded URI, such as http://[email protected]/my path/my filename.ext?width=100%&my key=my value#fragment-id. It is most useful when the entire URI is hard-coded in the JavaScript code, so that escaping of special characters within any component is already done manually.
  • encodes all characters that should never be included in a valid URI
  • also encodes any percent signs, which is used to encode the unsafe characters
  • leaves intact the special characters #& ./:=?@ that act as delimiters within a URI along with $; and all other characters not encoded by encodeURIComponent
  • uses percent escape encoding of individual UTF-8 octets for non-ASCII characters
JavaScript: encodeURIComponent functionThe JavaScript encodeURIComponent function can be used to encode individual components of a URI such as httpauthoritywww.ExampleOnly.commy pathmy filename.extwidth100%my keymy value and fragment-idfrom the example used for encodeURI above. This is the function that should be used when the URI is being constructed from variables containing individual components of the URI.
  • encodes the special characters #$& ,/:;=?@ within a component, in addition to those encoded by the encodeURI function, so they won't be misinterpreted as URI delimiters
  • leaves intact the alphanumeric characters and special characters !'()*-._~, which are considered "safe" by RFC 1738, but does encode the characters $ , anyway
  • uses percent escape encoding of individual UTF-8 octets for non-ASCII characters
JavaScript: escape function
  • The JavaScript escape function should be avoided but may be seen in older code that encodes a space as a plus sign (+) or that was designed to be compatible with older browsers
  • should not be used for text that may contain non-ASCII characters because Unicode characters are converted into a non-standard format as <strong style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">%u</strong><em style="border: 0px; padding: 0px;">nnnn</em> rather than using UTF-8 percent escape codes
JavaScript percent-encoding functions

In all cases, the resulting URI still needs to be converted to valid HTML, by encoding quotes within attributes, ampersands, etc. using HTML character codes.
