# URL Encoder Application
## Overview
The `UrlEncoder` program is a simple Java Swing-based GUI application that allows users to encode and decode URLs using the `java.net.URLEncoder` and `java.net.URLDecoder` utilities. It provides an intuitive interface for performing these operations.
---
## Features
1. **Encode URL**: Converts a raw URL string to a URL-encoded format.
2. **Decode URL**: Converts an encoded URL back to its original raw format.
3. **Graphical User Interface (GUI)**: Provides a user-friendly interface to input and display results.
4. **Error Handling**: Logs exceptions in case of encoding/decoding failures.
---
## Installation
1. **Requirements**:
- JDK 8 or higher.
- Java Swing library (part of the JDK).
2. **Compilation**:
Compile the program using the `javac` command:
```bash
javac UrlEncoder.java
```
3. **Execution**:
Run the application using the `java` command:
```bash
java UrlEncoder
```

**Action**: Click **Decode**
**Output**:
Row URL: `https://example.com/page?param=value`

## Future Enhancements
- Add support for additional encoding formats.
- Improve error messages displayed to the user.
