#Features

  • RFC3986 Compliant: Full compliance with the URI specification
  • Comprehensive Parsing: Parse all URI components (scheme, authority, path, query, fragment)
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed error types
  • URI Manipulation: Builder pattern for creating and modifying URIs
  • Normalization: URI normalization including path normalization and default port removal
  • Resolution: Resolve relative URIs against base URIs
  • Query Parsing: Parse and build query strings
  • URL Encoding: Basic URL encoding support
  • IPv6 Support: Handle IPv6 addresses in URIs
  • Extensive Testing: Comprehensive test suite with edge cases

#Installation

Add this library to your MoonBit project by including it in your moon.mod.json:

{ "deps": { "username/uri": "^0.1.0" } }

#Quick Start

// Parse a URI
let uri_result = @uri.of_string("https://example.com:8080/path?query=value#fragment")
match uri_result {
Ok(uri) => {
println(@uri.scheme(uri)) // Some("https")
println(@uri.host(uri)) // Some("example.com")
println(@uri.port(uri)) // Some(8080)
println(@uri.path(uri)) // "/path"
println(@uri.query(uri)) // Some("query=value")
println(@uri.fragment(uri)) // Some("fragment")
}
Err(error) => println("Parse error: " + error.to_string())
}

// Build a URI
let uri = @uri.empty()
|> @uri.with_scheme(Some("https"))
|> @uri.with_host(Some("api.example.com"))
|> @uri.with_path("/v1/users")
|> @uri.with_query(Some("limit=10&offset=0"))

println(@uri.to_string(uri)) // "https://api.example.com/v1/users?limit=10&offset=0"

#API Reference

#Core Types

#Uri

The main URI data structure containing all URI components:
  • scheme: String? - The URI scheme (e.g., "http", "https")
  • authority: Authority? - The authority component
  • path: String - The path component
  • query: String? - The query string
  • fragment: String? - The fragment identifier

#Authority

The authority component of a URI:
  • userinfo: String? - User information (username:password)
  • host: String - The host (domain name or IP address)
  • port: Int? - The port number

#UriError

Error types for URI operations:
  • InvalidScheme(String) - Invalid scheme format
  • InvalidAuthority(String) - Invalid authority format
  • InvalidPath(String) - Invalid path format
  • InvalidQuery(String) - Invalid query format
  • InvalidFragment(String) - Invalid fragment format
  • InvalidPort(String) - Invalid port number
  • EmptyUri - Empty URI string

#Parsing and Serialization

#of_string(uri_str: String) -> Result[Uri, UriError]

Parse a URI string into a Uri structure.

let uri = @uri.of_string("https://example.com/path")

#to_string(uri: Uri) -> String

Convert a Uri structure back to a string representation.

let uri_string = @uri.to_string(uri)

#Component Accessors

#scheme(uri: Uri) -> String?

Get the scheme component.

#host(uri: Uri) -> String?

Get the host component.

#port(uri: Uri) -> Int?

Get the port component.

#path(uri: Uri) -> String

#query(uri: Uri) -> String?

Get the query component.

#fragment(uri: Uri) -> String?

Get the fragment component.

#URI Construction and Modification

#empty() -> Uri

Create an empty URI with default values.

#with_scheme(uri: Uri, scheme: String?) -> Uri

Create a new URI with the specified scheme.

#with_host(uri: Uri, host: String?) -> Uri

Create a new URI with the specified host.

#with_port(uri: Uri, port: Int?) -> Uri

Create a new URI with the specified port.

#URI Analysis

#is_absolute(uri: Uri) -> Bool

Check if the URI is absolute (has a scheme).

#is_relative(uri: Uri) -> Bool

Check if the URI is relative (no scheme).

#effective_port(uri: Uri) -> Int?

Get the effective port (explicit port or default port for scheme).

#URI Utilities

#normalize(uri: Uri) -> Uri

Normalize a URI by removing default ports and normalizing the path.

let normalized = @uri.normalize(uri)

#resolve(base: Uri, relative: Uri) -> Result[Uri, UriError]

Resolve a relative URI against a base URI.

let base = @uri.of_string("https://example.com/dir/")
let relative = @uri.of_string("../other/file.html")
match @uri.resolve(base, relative) {
Ok(resolved) => println(@uri.to_string(resolved))
Err(error) => println("Resolution error")
}

#Query String Handling

#parse_query(query_string: String) -> Array[(String, String)]

Parse a query string into key-value pairs.

let pairs = @uri.parse_query("name=John&age=30&city=NYC")
// Returns [("name", "John"), ("age", "30"), ("city", "NYC")]

#build_query(pairs: Array[(String, String)]) -> String

Build a query string from key-value pairs.

let query = @uri.build_query([("search", "moonbit"), ("limit", "10")])
// Returns "search=moonbit&limit=10"

#URL Encoding

#encode(input: String) -> String

URL encode a string (basic implementation).

let encoded = @uri.encode("hello world!")
// Returns "hello%20world%21"

#Examples

#Basic URI Parsing

test "parse_http_uri" { match @uri.of_string("https://user:pass@example.com:8080/path?query=value#section") { Ok(uri) => { assert @uri.scheme(uri) == Some("https") assert @uri.host(uri) == Some("example.com") assert @uri.port(uri) == Some(8080) assert @uri.path(uri) == "/path" assert @uri.query(uri) == Some("query=value") assert @uri.fragment(uri) == Some("section") } Err(_) => fail("Failed to parse URI") } }

#Building URIs

test "build_api_uri" { let api_uri = @uri.empty() |> @uri.with_scheme(Some("https")) |> @uri.with_host(Some("api.github.com")) |> @uri.with_path("/repos/owner/repo/issues") |> @uri.with_query(Some("state=open&per_page=50")) let expected = "https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/issues?state=open&per_page=50" assert @uri.to_string(api_uri) == expected }

#URI Resolution

test "resolve_relative_uri" { let base = @uri.of_string("https://example.com/docs/guide/").unwrap() let relative = @uri.of_string("../api/reference.html").unwrap() match @uri.resolve(base, relative) { Ok(resolved) => { let expected = "https://example.com/docs/api/reference.html" assert @uri.to_string(resolved) == expected } Err(_) => fail("Failed to resolve URI") } }

#Query Parameter Handling

test "query_parameters" { let uri = @uri.of_string("https://search.example.com/?q=moonbit&lang=en&safe=on").unwrap() match @uri.query(uri) { Some(query_str) => { let params = @uri.parse_query(query_str) assert params.length() == 3 assert params[0] == ("q", "moonbit") assert params[1] == ("lang", "en") assert params[2] == ("safe", "on") // Rebuild query let rebuilt = @uri.build_query(params) assert rebuilt == query_str } None => fail("Expected query string") } }

#IPv6 Support

test "ipv6_uri" { match @uri.of_string("http://[2001:db8::1]:8080/path") { Ok(uri) => { assert @uri.scheme(uri) == Some("http") assert @uri.host(uri) == Some("[2001:db8::1]") assert @uri.port(uri) == Some(8080) assert @uri.path(uri) == "/path" } Err(_) => fail("Failed to parse IPv6 URI") } }

#URI Normalization

test "uri_normalization" { let uri = @uri.of_string("https://example.com:443/./path/../other/./file.html").unwrap() let normalized = @uri.normalize(uri) // Default HTTPS port (443) should be removed assert @uri.port(normalized) == None // Path should be normalized assert @uri.path(normalized) == "/other/file.html" let expected = "https://example.com/other/file.html" assert @uri.to_string(normalized) == expected }

#Supported URI Schemes

The library recognizes default ports for common schemes:

  • http → 80
  • https → 443
  • ftp → 21
  • ssh → 22
  • telnet → 23
  • smtp → 25
  • dns → 53
  • pop3 → 110
  • imap → 143
  • ldap → 389
  • imaps → 993
  • pop3s → 995

#Error Handling

The library uses MoonBit's Result type for error handling. All parsing operations return Result[Uri, UriError] where UriError provides detailed information about parsing failures:

match @uri.of_string("invalid://") {
Ok(uri) => {
// Use the parsed URI
}
Err(error) => {
match error {
@uri.InvalidScheme(scheme) => println("Invalid scheme: " + scheme)
@uri.InvalidAuthority(auth) => println("Invalid authority: " + auth)
@uri.EmptyUri => println("URI cannot be empty")
_ => println("Other parsing error")
}
}
}

#RFC3986 Compliance

This library implements the URI specification as defined in RFC3986. Key compliance features include:

  • Proper parsing of all URI components
  • Scheme validation (must start with letter, contain only alphanumeric, +, -, .)
  • Authority parsing with IPv6 support
  • Path normalization (resolving . and .. segments)
  • Query and fragment handling
  • Percent-encoding support
  • Relative URI resolution

#Testing

The library includes comprehensive tests covering:

  • Basic URI parsing and serialization
  • All URI components (scheme, authority, path, query, fragment)
  • Edge cases (empty components, special characters)
  • IPv6 addresses
  • URI normalization
  • Relative URI resolution
  • Query parameter parsing
  • Error conditions
  • RFC3986 compliance

#
Authority

pub struct Authority {
userinfo : String?
host : String
port : Int?
}
Authority component of a URI Contains optional user info, required host, and optional port

#
Uri

pub struct Uri {
scheme : String?
authority : Authority?
path : String
query : String?
fragment : String?
}
URI data structure representing a parsed URI according to RFC3986

A URI has the general form: scheme://authority/path?query#fragment

Where:
  • scheme: identifies the protocol (e.g., "http", "https", "ftp")
  • authority: contains user info, host, and port
  • path: hierarchical path to resource
  • query: additional parameters
  • fragment: reference to a secondary resource

#
UriError

pub enum UriError {
InvalidScheme(String)
InvalidAuthority(String)
