public class URLEncoder

extends Object

The class contains a utility method for converting a String into a MIME format called "x-www-form-urlencoded" format.

To convert a String, each character is examined in turn:

• The ASCII characters 'a' through 'z', 'A' through 'Z', and '0' through '9' remain the same.
• The space character ' ' is converted into a plus sign '+'.
• All other characters are converted into the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the lower 8-bits of the character.

Since:

JDK1.0
