Uri

This is a library which implements RFC 3986, "Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax".

Usage

The Uri::Uri class is used to parse URIs from strings, render URIs as strings, and get or set the individual elements of a URI.

Supported platforms / recommended toolchains

This is a portable C++11 library which depends only on the C++11 compiler and standard library, so it should be supported on almost any platform. The following are recommended toolchains for popular platforms.

  • Windows -- Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual C++)
  • Linux -- clang or gcc
  • MacOS -- Xcode (clang)

Building

This library is not intended to stand alone. It is intended to be included in a larger solution which uses CMake to generate the build system and build applications which will link with the library.

There are two distinct steps in the build process:

  1. Generation of the build system, using CMake
  2. Compiling, linking, etc., using CMake-compatible toolchain

Prerequisites

  • CMake version 3.8 or newer
  • C++11 toolchain compatible with CMake for your development platform (e.g. Visual Studio on Windows)

Build system generation

Generate the build system using CMake from the solution root. For example:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A "x64" ..

Compiling, linking, et cetera

Either use CMake or your toolchain's IDE to build. For CMake:

cd build
cmake --build . --config Release

Testing

cd build
ctest -C Release
