What is URL encoding?
A method of representing special characters in a URL using a % followed by hex digits, so URLs remain valid and unambiguous.
Why does a space become %20?
Spaces aren't valid in raw URLs, so they're percent-encoded as %20 to keep the URL well-formed.
When would I need to decode a URL?
When reading query parameters or logs that contain percent-encoded characters you want to read as plain text.
