jurl

Fast and simple URL parsing for Java, with UTF-8 and path resolving support. Based on Go's excellent net/url lib.

Why

• Easy to use API - you just want to parse a URL after all.
• Fast, 4+ million URLs per second on commodity hardware.
• UTF-8 encoding and decoding.
• Supports path resolving between URLs (absolute and relative).
• Good test coverage with plenty of edge cases.
• Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
• No external dependencies.

Getting Started

Example:

 // Parse URLs
URL base = URL.parse("https://user:secret@example♬.com/path/to/my/dir#about");
URL ref = URL.parse("./../file.html?search=germany&language=de_DE");

// Parsed base
base.getScheme(); // https
base.getUsername(); // user
base.getPassword(); // secret
base.getHost(); // example♬.com
base.getPath(); // /path/to/my/dir
base.getFragment(); // about

// Parsed reference
ref.getPath(); // ./../file.html
ref.getQueryPairs(); // Map<String, String> = {search=germany, language=de_DE}

// Resolve them!
URL resolved = base.resolveReference(ref); // https://user:secret@example♬.com/path/to/file.html?search=germany&language=de_DE
resolved.getPath(); // /path/to/file.html

// Escaped UTF-8 result
resolved.toString(); // https://user:secret@example%E2%99%AC.com/path/to/file.html?search=germany&language=de_DE
