This software provides a utility class that helps to manipulate URLs efficiently. It can be used for various purposes such as parsing, encoding, decoding or formatting URLs, making it a versatile tool for developers.
URLObject is a utility class specifically designed for the manipulation of URLs. This software is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, as evidenced by its streamlined example usage. By simply importing the URLObject package and creating a new URLObject through the specified code, users can easily receive a URL string that has been manipulated to their liking.
It is important to note that URLObject is completely Unicode-aware, which means that international hostnames are automatically encoded to IDNA format without user intervention. Additionally, international characters in pathnames are automatically escaped, so users can continue using Unicode values for everything, as the various components are en/decoded on-the-fly.
When using URLObject, there are a variety of methods available to users. For instance, "+" adds key-value pairs to the URL, allowing users to easily add multiple appearances of a key in the query. "|" adds a key-value pair to the URL while removing any previous appearance of that key in the query parameter. "&" and "|" work similarly, only they add every key-value pair in the dictionary or list to the query string.
Other methods available include "/path", which adds a given path to the current path by quoting special characters if necessary, "//path", which sets the path to a given value, and "*" and "^", which set the fragment and port number, respectively. Additionally, the various "with_*" methods can be used to return a new URL object with a given value in that location, and the "without_*" methods can be used to perform obvious actions such as removing a port, path, query or fragment.
It is also worth noting that every operation returns a new URL object, as URL objects are immutable. This means that users can manipulate their URLs as much as they like, and won't have to worry about altering the original URL in any way.
Finally, there are also some helpful hints and tips for using URLObject. For example, if a URL's scheme is 'http' and users try to set the port to 80, it is equivalent to not specifying the port. Additionally, if users need to end the path with '/', they can do so by either including '' or 'last_component/' in the URL.
Ultimately, URLObject is a powerful and efficient utility class that offers a range of useful methods for manipulating URLs. Because it subclasses directly from Python's built-in Unicode, URL objects can be passed directly into a variety of different applications, making it an incredibly versatile software package.
