Examples

URI Parsing

#include <salzaverde/uri.h>
using namespace salzaverde;

auto myRawUri = std::string("https://salzaverde@github.io:1176/my/music?sort_by=title&before=2020#artist=rhcp");
auto uri = URI::parse(myRawUri);

std::cout << "Scheme:   "   << uri.scheme   << std::endl;
std::cout << "Userinfo: "   << uri.userinfo << std::endl;
std::cout << "Host:     "   << uri.host     << std::endl;
std::cout << "Port:     "   << uri.port     << std::endl;
std::cout << "Path:     "   << uri.path     << std::endl;
std::cout << "Query:    "   << uri.query    << std::endl;
std::cout << "Fragment: "   << uri.fragment << std::endl;

uri.dump(); //Outputs the raw uri

Query Parsing

#include <salzaverde/query.h>
using namespace salzaverde;

auto raw = "sort_by=title&before=2020"
auto query = Query::parse(raw);

query["sort_by"] == "title"; //true

Query Info

auto keys = query.list(); //Contains "sort_by", "before"
query.contains("sort_by"); //true

Query Editing

query["sort_by"] = "length";
query.dump(); //Query is now: "sort_by=length&before=2020"

query.erase("sort_by");
query.dump(); //Query is now: "before=2020"

Query Construction

#include <salzaverde/query.h>
using namespace salzaverde;

std::vector<std::pair<Query::Key, Query::Value>> parameters;
parameters.push_back({"artistfilter", "rhcp"});
parameters.push_back({"sortby", "name"});
auto query1 = Query(parameters);

auto query2 = Query({
    {"artistfilter", "rhcp"},
    {"sortby", "name"}
});
