NAME
URI::Encode - Simple percent Encoding/Decoding
<a href="https://travis-ci.org/mithun/perl-uri-encode"><img src="https://travis-ci.org/mithun/perl-uri-encode.svg?branch=master"></a>
SYNOPSIS
# OOP Interface
use URI::Encode;
my $uri = URI::Encode->new( { encode_reserved => 0 } );
my $encoded = $uri->encode($data);
my $decoded = $uri->decode($encoded);
# Functional
use URI::Encode qw(uri_encode uri_decode);
my $encoded = uri_encode($data);
my $decoded = uri_decode($encoded);
DESCRIPTION
This modules provides simple URI (Percent) encoding/decoding
The main purpose of this module (at least for me) was to provide an easy
method to encode strings (mainly URLs) into a format which can be pasted
into a plain text emails, and that those links are 'click-able' by the
person reading that email. This can be accomplished by NOT encoding the
reserved characters.
This module can also be useful when using [HTTP::Tiny][] to ensure the
URLs are properly escaped.
THIS MODULE DOES NOT ENCODE RESERVED CHARACTERS BY DEFAULT. If you are
looking for speed and want to encode reserved characters, use
[URI::Escape::XS][]
See [this script][] for a comparison on encoding results and
performance.
METHODS
new()
Creates a new object, no arguments are required
my $encoder = URI::Encode->new(\%options);
The following options can be passed to the constructor
- encode_reserved
my $encoder = URI::Encode->new({encode_reserved => 0});
If true, ["Reserved Characters"][] are also encoded. Defaults
to false.
- double_encode
my $encoder = URI::Encode->new({double_encode => 1});
If false, characters that are already percent-encoded will not be
encoded again. Defaults to true.
my $encoder = URI::Encode->new({double_encode => 0});
print $encoder->encode('http://perl.com/foo%20bar'); # prints http://perl.com/foo%20bar
encode($url, \%options)
This method encodes the URL provided. The $url provided is first
converted into UTF-8 before percent encoding. Options set in the
constructor, or defaults, can be overridden by passing them as the
(optional) second argument. Options passed must be a hashref.
$uri->encode("http://perl.com/foo bar");
$uri->encode( "http://perl.com/foo bar", { encode_reserved => 1 } );
decode($url)
This method decodes a 'percent' encoded URL. If you had encoded the URL
using this module (or any other method), chances are that the URL was
converted to UTF-8 before 'percent' encoding. Be sure to check the
format and convert back if required.
$uri->decode("http%3A%2F%2Fperl.com%2Ffoo%20bar");
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
The following functions are exported upon request. This provides a
non-OOP interface
- uri_encode($url, \%options)
- uri_decode($url)
CHARACTER CLASSES
Reserved Characters
The following characters are considered as reserved ([RFC 3986][]). They
will be encoded only if requested.
! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? # [ ]
Unreserved Characters
The following characters are considered as Unreserved. They will not be
encoded
a-z
A-Z
0-9
- _ . ~
DEPENDENCIES
