= Containers

Three containers are provided for interacting with URLs:

[cols="1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Name|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url[]
// Row 1, Column 2
|A valid, modifiable URL which performs dynamic memory allocation
to store the character buffer.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_view[]
// Row 2, Column 2
|A read-only reference to a character buffer containing a valid URL.
The view does not retain ownership of the underlying character buffer;
instead, it is managed by the caller.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:static_url[]
// Row 3, Column 2
|A valid, modifiable URL which stores the character buffer
inside the class itself. This is a class template, where
the maximum buffer size is a non-type template parameter.

|===

Inheritance provides the observer and modifier public members; class
cpp:url_view_base[]
has all the observers, while class
cpp:url_base[]
has all the modifiers.
Although the members are public, these base classes can only be constructed by the library as needed to support the implementation.
The class hierarchy looks like this:

image::ClassHierarchy.svg[]

Throughout this documentation and especially below, when an observer is discussed, it is applicable to all three derived containers shown in the table above.
When a modifier is discussed, it is relevant to the containers
cpp:url[] and cpp:static_url[].
The tables and exposition which follow describe the available observers and modifiers, along with notes relating important behaviors or special requirements.

== Scheme

The scheme is represented as a case-insensitive string, along with an enumeration constant which acts as a numeric indentifier when the string matches one of the well-known schemes: http, https, ws, wss, file, and ftp.
Characters in the scheme are never escaped; only letters and numbers are allowed, and the first character must be a letter.

These members are used to inspect and modify the scheme:

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Return Type|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::has_scheme[has_scheme]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:bool[]
// Row 1, Column 3
|Return cpp:true[] if a scheme is present.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::scheme[scheme]
// Row 2, Column 2
|cpp:string_view[]
// Row 2, Column 3
|Return the scheme as a string, or the empty string if there is no scheme.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::scheme_id[scheme_id]
// Row 3, Column 2
|cpp:scheme[]
// Row 3, Column 3
|Return the scheme as an enumerated constant, the value
cpp:scheme::unknown[]
if the scheme is not one of the well-known schemes, or the value
cpp:scheme::none[]
if there is no scheme.

|===

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Parameters|Description

|cpp:url_base::set_scheme[set_scheme]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:string_view[]
// Row 1, Column 3

|Set the scheme to a well-known scheme constant.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::remove_scheme[remove_scheme]
// Row 3, Column 2
|
// Row 3, Column 3
|Remove the scheme if present.
This includes the trailing colon (":").

|===

== Authority

The authority is an optional part whose presence is indicated by an unescaped double slash ("//") immediately following the scheme, or at the beginning if the scheme is not present.
It contains three components: an optional userinfo, the host, and an optional port.
The authority in this diagram has all three components:

image:::AuthorityDiagram.svg[]

An empty authority, corresponding to just a zero-length host component, is distinct from the absence of an authority.
These members are used to inspect and modify the authority as a whole string:

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Return Type|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::has_authority[has_authority]
// Row 1, Column 2

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::authority[authority]
// Row 2, Column 2
|cpp:authority_view[]

|Return the authority as a decoded string.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_authority[encoded_authority]
// Row 3, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 3, Column 3
|Return the authority as a read-only view.

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::set_encoded_authority[set_encoded_authority]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 1, Column 3
|Set the authority to the string, which may contain percent escapes.
Reserved characters are percent-escaped automatically.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::remove_authority[remove_authority]
// Row 2, Column 2
|
// Row 2, Column 3
|Remove the authority if present.
This includes the leading double slash ("//").

|===

The paragraphs and tables that follow describe how to interact with the individual parts of the authority.

== Userinfo

An authority may have an optional userinfo, which consists of a user and optional password.
The presence of the userinfo is indicated by an unescaped at sign ("@") which comes afterwards.
The password if present is prefixed by an unescaped colon (":").
An empty password string is distinct from no password.
This table shows various URLs with userinfos, and the corresponding user and password:

[cols="a,a,a,a"]
|===
// Headers
|URL|User|Password|Notes

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp://user:pass@[]
// Row 1, Column 2
|"user"
// Row 1, Column 3

// Row 1, Column 4
|User and password

// Row 2, Column 1

// Row 6, Column 1
|cpp://:@[]
// Row 6, Column 2
|""
// Row 6, Column 3
|""
// Row 6, Column 4
|Empty user and password

|===

[CAUTION]
====
Although the specification allows the format username:password, the password component is deprecated and should be avoided if possible or otherwise used with care.
It is not recommended to transfer password data through URLs unless it is an empty string indicating no password.

== Host

The host portion of the authority is a string which can be a host name, an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an IPvFuture address depending on the contents.
The host is always defined if an authority is present, even if the resulting host string would be zero length.

These members are used to inspect and modify the host:

|===

== Port

The port is a string of digits, possibly of zero length.
The presence of a port is indicated by a colon prefix (":") appearing after the host and userinfo.
A zero length port string is distinct from the absence of a port.
The library represents the port with both a decimal string and an unsigned 16-bit integer.
If the numeric value of the string would exceed the range of the integer, then it is mapped to the number zero.

These members are used to inspect and modify the port:

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===

|Function|Return Type|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::has_port[has_port]

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::port_number[port_number]
// Row 3, Column 2
|cpp:std::uint16_t[]
// Row 3, Column 3

|cpp:url_base::remove_port[remove_port]
// Row 3, Column 2

// Row 3, Column 3
|Remove the port if present.
This does not remove the authority.

|===

== Path

Depending on the scheme, the path may be treated as a string, or as a hierarchically structured sequence of segments delimited by unescaped forward-slashes ("/").
A path is __always__ defined for every URL, even if it is the empty string.

These members are used to inspect and modify the path:

[cols="1,1,3"]

|===

The segments-based containers
cpp:segments_view[], cpp:segments_ref[],
cpp:segments_encoded_view[], and cpp:segments_encoded_ref[]
are discussed in a later section.

== Query

Depending on the scheme, the query may be treated as a string, or as a structured series of key-value pairs (called "params") separated by unescaped ampersands ("&").
The query is optional; an empty query string is distinct from no query.

These members are used to inspect and modify the query:

|Return the query as a modifiable range of decoded params.

// Row 4, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_params[encoded_params]
// Row 4, Column 2
|cpp:params_encoded_ref[]
// Row 4, Column 3
|Return the query as a modifiable range of params.

// Row 5, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::remove_query[remove_query]
// Row 5, Column 2
|
// Row 5, Column 3
|Remove the query.
This also removes the leading question mark ("?") if present.

The params-based containers
cpp:params_view[], cpp:params_ref[],
cpp:params_encoded_view[], and cpp:params_encoded_ref[]
are discussed in a later section.

== Fragment

The fragment is treated as a string; there is no common, structured interpretation of the contents.

These members are used to inspect and modify the fragment:

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Return Type|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::has_fragment[has_fragment]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:bool[]
// Row 1, Column 3
|Return cpp:true[] if a fragment is present.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::fragment[fragment]
// Row 2, Column 2
|cpp:std::string[]
// Row 2, Column 3
|Return the fragment as a decoded string.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_fragment[encoded_fragment]
// Row 3, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 3, Column 3
|Return the fragment.

|===

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Parameters|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::set_fragment[set_fragment]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:string_view[]
// Row 1, Column 3
|Set the fragment to the string.
Reserved characters are percent-escaped automatically.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::set_encoded_fragment[set_encoded_fragment]
// Row 2, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 2, Column 3
|Set the fragment to the string, which may contain percent escapes.
Reserved characters are percent-escaped automatically.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::remove_fragment[remove_fragment]
// Row 3, Column 2
|
// Row 3, Column 3
|Remove the fragment.
This also removes the leading pound sign ("#") if present.

== Compound Fields

For convenience, these observers and modifiers for aggregated subsets of the URL are provided:

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Return Type|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_host_and_port[encoded_host_and_port]
// Row 1, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 1, Column 3
|Return the host and port as a string with percent escapes.

// Row 2, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_origin[encoded_origin]
// Row 2, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 2, Column 3
|Return only the scheme and authority parts as an individual string.

// Row 3, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_resource[encoded_resource]
// Row 3, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 3, Column 3
|Return only the path, query, and fragment parts as an individual string.

// Row 4, Column 1
|cpp:url_view_base::encoded_target[encoded_target]
// Row 4, Column 2
|cpp:pct_string_view[]
// Row 4, Column 3
|Return only the path and query parts as an individual string.

|===

[cols="1,1,3"]
|===
// Headers
|Function|Parameters|Description

// Row 1, Column 1
|cpp:url_base::remove_origin[remove_origin]
// Row 1, Column 2
|
// Row 1, Column 3
|Remove the scheme and authority parts from the URL.
