What is the point of the encoding ? Is it obfuscation for the common user ? What's wrong with http:// http:// url.com/api/?interval=week&periodicity=1... since the encoded version is not shorter.
- ninjanomnom 4y agoEncoding isn't usually to obscure but to allow using characters not allowed in a URL or wherever text is being stored. This makes it a bit easier to directly take that encoded text later and decode it into something like json.
- Altho00 4y agoThat makes sense, thank you
- deelly 4y ago> What is the point of the encoding ? Absence of special characters. No need to escape symbols like {}:/\?& etc, etc.
- rocho 4y agoThey have a nested structure, it's a pain to encode that in query parameters.
