      • escapePath

        public String escapePath(String text)

        Perform am URI path escape operation on a String input using UTF-8 as encoding.

        This method simply calls the equivalent method in the UriEscape class from the Unbescape library.

        The following are the only allowed chars in an URI path (will not be escaped):

        • A-Z a-z 0-9
        • - . _ ~
        • ! $ & ' ( ) * + , ; =
        • : @
        • /

        All other chars will be escaped by converting them to the sequence of bytes that represents them in the UTF-8 and then representing each byte in %HH syntax, being HH the hexadecimal representation of the byte.

        This method is thread-safe.

        Parameters:
        text - the String to be escaped.
        Returns:
        The escaped result String. As a memory-performance improvement, will return the exact same object as the text input argument if no escaping modifications were required (and no additional String objects will be created during processing). Will return null if text is null.
      • unescapePath

        public String unescapePath(String text)

        Perform am URI path unescape operation on a String input using UTF-8 as encoding.

        This method simply calls the equivalent method in the UriEscape class from the Unbescape library.

        This method will unescape every percent-encoded (%HH) sequences present in input, even for those characters that do not need to be percent-encoded in this context (unreserved characters can be percent-encoded even if/when this is not required, though it is not generally considered a good practice).

        This method will use UTF-8 in order to determine the characters specified in the percent-encoded byte sequences.

        This method is thread-safe.

        Parameters:
        text - the String to be unescaped.
        Returns:
        The unescaped result String. As a memory-performance improvement, will return the exact same object as the text input argument if no unescaping modifications were required (and no additional String objects will be created during processing). Will return null if text is null.
      • escapePath
