Percent encoding javascript

Question

Is there a javascript function that takes a string and converts it into another string that is percent-encoded? That way something like \"This Guy\" turns into \"This%20Guy\".

Answer 1

Try this encodeURIComponent()

var stringToDecode = "J&K";

var encodedString = encodeURIComponent(stringToDecode );

Use decodeURIComponent() to decode it again when needed
