Hyperlink API

Creation

Before you can work with URLs, you must create URLs.

Parsing Text

If you already have a textual URL, the easiest way to get URL objects is with the parse() function:

By default, parse() returns an instance of DecodedURL, a URL type that handles all encoding for you, by wrapping the lower-level URL.

DecodedURL

The Encoded URL

The lower-level URL looks very similar to the DecodedURL, but does not handle all encoding cases for you. Use with caution.

Note

URL is also available as an alias, hyperlink.EncodedURL for more explicit usage.

Transformation

Once a URL is created, some of the most common tasks are to transform it into other URLs and text.

Navigation

Go places with URLs. Simulate browser behavior and perform semantic path operations.

Query Parameters

CRUD operations on the query string multimap.

Attributes

URLs have many parts, and URL objects have many attributes to represent them.

Low-level functions

A couple of notable helpers used by the URL type.
