What packages do people use when they want to parse URIs? I rolled my own but it's incomplete and as it's a fairly common need there must be one out there? In fact, I'm surprised there isn't one in Phobos yet.

I developed[0] with the hopes that at some point in the future I could bring that over to Phobos. But before that I'm waiting for allocators to be moved out of experimental first.

Looks good, thanks.

It's not easy to make a true URI implementation, by "true" I mean "conform" with https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986.

But for the URL subset there's url.d: https://code.dlang.org/packages/urld.

Yeah the spec is quite nasty.
Luckily nobody uses Gopher anymore!

I did one based on the regex found in the RFC for my cgi and http libs.

cgi version (more complete)
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/cgi.d#L2163

http version (just what i needed for handling relative links in html)
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/http2.d#L114


If you just need to parse a complete uri though, go ahead and use the regex from the RFC. My thing is more about making uris based on other uris for handling those links.

Yeah, like _far_ too many of the RFCs relating to the web, it's a mess. From what I recall, it's not even possible to parse a URL in a completely unambiguous manner. *sigh*

yeah. everything after scheme is highly dependent of scheme itself, so your parser should know about various schemes and their syntax. and even with "http:" it sometimes a guesswork.

I also wrote a function for extended url parsing based on php source code. it is in dlib: https://github.com/gecko0307/dlib
dlib.network.url

IIRC there's one in vibe I used not too long ago.
