+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions for parsing and handling URIs
+ (<url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url>) and
+ form-urlencoded query strings (<url href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html">HTML5</url>).
+ </p>
+ <p>A URI is an identifier consisting of a sequence of characters matching the syntax
+ rule named <em>URI</em> in <url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url>.
+ </p>
+ <p> The generic URI syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of components referred
+ to as the scheme, authority, path, query, and fragment:</p>
+ <pre>
+ URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
+ hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty
+ / path-absolute
+ / path-rootless
+ / path-empty
+ scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." )
+ authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]
+ userinfo = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
+
+ reserved = gen-delims / sub-delims
+ gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
+ sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&amp;" / "'" / "(" / ")"
+ / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="
+
+ unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
+ </pre><br></br>
+ <p>The interpretation of a URI depends only on the characters used and not on how those
+ characters are represented in a network protocol.</p>
+ <p>The functions implemented by this module cover the following use cases:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Parsing URIs into its components and returing a map<br></br>
+ <seealso marker="#parse/1"><c>parse/1</c></seealso>
+ </item>

+ <seealso marker="#normalize/1"><c>normalize/1</c></seealso>
+ </item>
+ <item>Composing form-urlencoded query strings from a list of key-value pairs<br></br>
+ <seealso marker="#compose_query/1"><c>compose_query/1</c></seealso><br></br>
+ <seealso marker="#compose_query/2"><c>compose_query/2</c></seealso>
+ </item>
+ <item>Dissecting form-urlencoded query strings into a list of key-value pairs<br></br>
+ <seealso marker="#dissect_query/1"><c>dissect_query/1</c></seealso>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>There are four different encodings present during the handling of URIs:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>Inbound binary encoding in binaries</item>
+ <item>Inbound percent-encoding in lists and binaries</item>
+ <item>Outbound binary encoding in binaries</item>
+ <item>Outbound percent-encoding in lists and binaries</item>
+ </list>
+ <p>Functions with <c>uri_string()</c> argument accept lists, binaries and
+ mixed lists (lists with binary elements) as input type. All of the functions but
+ <c>transcode/2</c> expects input as lists of unicode codepoints, UTF-8 encoded binaries
+ and UTF-8 percent-encoded URI parts ("%C3%B6" corresponds to the unicode character "ö").</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise specified the return value type and encoding are the same as the input
+ type and encoding. That is, binary input returns binary output, list input returns a list
+ output but mixed input returns list output.</p>
+ <p>In case of lists there is only percent-encoding. In binaries, however, both binary encoding
+ and percent-encoding shall be considered. <c>transcode/2</c> provides the means to convert
+ between the supported encodings, it takes a <c>uri_string()</c> and a list of options
+ specifying inbound and outbound encodings.</p>
+ <p><url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url> does not mandate any specific
+ character encoding and it is usually defined by the protocol or surrounding text. This library
+ takes the same assumption, binary and percent-encoding are handled as one configuration unit,
+ they cannot be set to different values.</p>
