## A consolidated Uniform Resource Locator implementation for Java
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a compact representation of the
|
||
|
|
location and access method for a resource available via the Internet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Historically, there are many different forms of internet resource representations, for example,
|
||
|
|
the URL (RFC 1738 as of 1994), the URI (RFC 2396 as of 1998), and IRI (RFC 3987 as of 2005),
|
||
|
|
and most of them have updated specifications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Java implementation serves as a universal point of handling all
|
||
|
|
different forms. It follows the syntax of the Uniform Resource Identifier (RFC 3986)
|
||
|
|
in accordance with the https://url.spec.whatwg.org/[WHATWG URL standard].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This alternative implementation of Uniform Resource Locator combines the features of the vanilla URI/URL Java SDK implementations
|
||
|
|
but removes it peculiarities and deficiencies, such as `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal character in path at ... at java.net.URI.create()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normalization, NIO charset encoding/decoding, IPv6, an extensive set of schemes, and path matching have been added.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fast building and parsing URLs, improved percent decoding/encoding, and URI templating features are included, to make
|
||
|
|
this library also useful in URI and IRI contexts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While parsing and building, you have better control about address resolving. Only explicit `resolveFromhost` methods
|
||
|
|
will execute host lookup queries against DNS resolvers, otherwise, no resolving will occur under the hood.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can build URLs with a fluent API, for example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
URL.http().host("foo.com").toUrlString()
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And you can parse URLs with a fluent API, for exmaple
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
URL url = URL.parser().parse("file:///foo/bar?foo=bar#fragment");
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no external dependency. The size of the jar library is ~118k. The only dependency on `java.net` are the classes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
java.net.IDN
|
||
|
|
java.net.Inet4Address
|
||
|
|
java.net.Inet6Address
|
||
|
|
java.net.InetAddress
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which might get re-implemented in another library at a later time, in a project like Netty DNS resolver.
