How Encoding Tools Should Be Used

Encoding tools change how text or tokens are represented so they can move safely through URLs, HTML, APIs, and logs. Encoding is not encryption, so decoded values should still be handled carefully.

When debugging API payloads or JWT tokens, inspect claims, padding, and escaping rules before copying values into production systems. Browser-side processing is useful because test strings do not need to be sent to a server.
