what is the difference between web-safe key and URL-safe key?

[Baqir Rizvi]

I can see two entity identifiers web-safe key and URL-safe-key having different content. When should they be used?

What is this “URL-safe-key” and how do you get it? There are two string representations of a key:

Key<?>.toWebSafeString() and its alias Key<?>.getString() return the native KeyFactor.keyToString() value. Looks like “aghzfnZvb3N0MHIOCxIFRXZlbnQYtPqwBgw”.

Key<?>.toString() just returns a regular toString() of the raw key - looks something like “Key(Thing(123))”.

You have something else?
