Data transmission requires encoding special characters to ensure URLs and strings pass securely through web servers without breaking.

1. Base64 vs. URL Parameter Encoding

Base64 converts binary files or data strings into plain text ASCII format. URL encoding replaces special characters (like spaces) with percent-escaped values.

2. Processing Encodings Locally
