# URL Encoder for Kotlin Multiplatform
|
||
|
||
UrlEncoder is a simple defensive library to encode/decode URL components.
|
||
|
||
This library was adapted from the [RIFE2 Web Application Framework](https://rife2.com).
|
||
A pure Java version can also be found at [https://github.com/gbevin/urlencoder](https://github.com/gbevin/urlencoder).
|
||
|
||
The rules are determined by combining the unreserved character set from
|
||
[RFC 3986](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#page-13) with the
|
||
percent-encode set from
|
||
[application/x-www-form-urlencoded](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#application-x-www-form-urlencoded-percent-encode-set).
|
||
|
||
Both specs above support percent decoding of two hexadecimal digits to a
|
||
binary octet, however their unreserved set of characters differs and
|
||
`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` adds conversion of space to `+`,
|
||
that has the potential to be misunderstood.
|
||
|
||
This class encodes with rules that will be decoded correctly in either case.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, this library allocates no memory when encoding isn't needed and
|
||
does the work in a single pass without multiple loops. Both of these
|
||
optimizations have a significantly beneficial impact on performance of encoding
|
||
compared to other solutions like the standard `URLEncoder` in the JDK or
|
||
`UriUtils` in Spring.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Examples (TL;DR)
|
||
|
||
```kotlin
|
||
UrlEncoder.encode("a test &") // -> a%20test%20%26
|
||
UrlEncoder.encode("%#okékÉȢ smile!😁") // -> %25%23ok%C3%A9k%C3%89%C8%A2%20smile%21%F0%9F%98%81
|
||
UrlEncoder.encode("?test=a test", allow = "?=") // -> ?test=a%20test
|
||
UrlEncoder.endode("foo bar", spaceToPlus = true) // -> foo+bar
|
||
|
||
UrlEncoder.decode("a%20test%20%26") // -> a test &
|
||
UrlEncoder.decode("%25%23ok%C3%A9k%C3%89%C8%A2%20smile%21%F0%9F%98%81") // -> %#okékÉȢ smile!😁
|
||
UrlEncoder.decode("foo+bar", plusToSpace = true) // -> foo bar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Gradle, Maven, etc.
|
||
|
||
To use with [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), include the following dependency in your build file:
|
||
|
||
```kotlin
|
||
repositories {
|
||
mavenCentral()
|
||
// only needed for SNAPSHOT
|
||
maven("https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots") {
|
||
name = "SonatypeSnapshots"
|
||
mavenContent { snapshotsOnly() }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
dependencies {
|
||
implementation("net.thauvin.erik.urlencoder:urlencoder-lib:1.4.0")
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Adding a dependency in [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) requires specifying the JVM variant by adding a `-jvm` suffix
|
||
to the artifact URL.
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<dependency>
|
||
<groupId>net.thauvin.erik.urlencoder</groupId>
|
||
<artifactId>urlencoder-lib-jvm</artifactId>
|
||
<version>1.4.0</version>
|
||
</dependency>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Instructions for using with Ivy, etc. can be found on
|
||
[Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:net.thauvin.erik.urlencoder).
|
||
|
||
## Standalone usage
|
||
|
||
UrlEncoder can be used on the command line also, both for encoding and decoding.
|
||
|
||
You have two options:
|
||
|
||
* run it with Gradle
|
||
* build the jar and launch it with Java
|
||
|
||
The usage is as follows:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Encode and decode URL components defensively.
|
||
-e encode (default)
|
||
-d decode
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Running with Gradle
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
./gradlew run --quiet --args="-e 'a test &'" # -> a%20test%20%26
|
||
./gradlew run --quiet --args="%#okékÉȢ" # -> %25%23ok%C3%A9k%C3%89%C8%A2
|
||
|
||
./gradlew run --quiet --args="-d 'a%20test%20%26'" # -> a test &
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Running with Java
|
||
|
||
First build the jar file:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
./gradlew fatJar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then run it:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
java -jar urlencoder-app/build/libs/urlencoder-*all.jar -e "a test &" # -> a%20test%20%26
|
||
java -jar urlencoder-app/build/libs/urlencoder-*all.jar "%#okékÉȢ" # -> %25%23ok%C3%A9k%C3%89%C8%A2
|
||
|
||
java -jar urlencoder-app/build/libs/urlencoder-*all.jar -d "a%20test%20%26" # -> a test &
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Why not simply use `java.net.URLEncoder`?
|
||
|
||
Apart for being quite inefficient, some URL components encoded with `URLEncoder.encode` might not be able to be properly decoded.
|
||
|
||
For example, a simple search query such as:
|
||
|
||
```kotlin
|
||
val u = URLEncoder.encode("foo +bar", StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
would be encoded as:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
foo+%2Bbar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Trying to decode it with [Spring](https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/util/UriUtils.html#decode(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)), for example:
|
||
|
||
```kotlin
|
||
UriUtils.decode(u, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
would return:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
foo++bar
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, decoding with [Uri.decode](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Uri#decode(java.lang.String)) on Android, [decodeURI](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/decodeURI) in Javascript, etc. would yield the exact same result.
