How to use it
Use Component mode when the text is a value going inside a URL — a search term, a name, a redirect target. Use Full URI mode when you are encoding a complete address and its structure must survive.
Where it stops
The two modes exist because the rules differ by position. Encoding a whole URL in component mode breaks it; encoding a query value in URI mode can let &, = or # split it apart.
