URI encoding and decoding are processes used to handle special characters and ensure safe transmission of data over the internet. This can also be user to encode

For example: in AWS CloudFormation, URL encoding may be necessary when dealing with certain types of resources or parameters that require special characters to be represented in a URI-safe format. This typically comes into play when specifying values for properties such as S3 bucket names, object keys, IAM role names, or other resource identifiers within CloudFormation templates.
