Class PercentCodec

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.codec.net.PercentCodec
All Implemented Interfaces:
BinaryDecoder, BinaryEncoder, Decoder, Encoder
public class PercentCodec extends Object implements BinaryEncoder, BinaryDecoder
Implements the Percent-Encoding scheme, as described in HTTP 1.1 specification. For extensibility, an array of special US-ASCII characters can be specified in order to perform proper URI encoding for the different parts of the URI.

This class is immutable. It is also thread-safe besides using BitSet which is not thread-safe, but its public interface only call the access

1.12

    Description
    PercentCodec()
    Constructs a Percent coded that will encode all the non US-ASCII characters using the Percent-Encoding while it will not encode all the US-ASCII characters, except for character '%' that is used as escape character for Percent-Encoding.
    PercentCodec(byte[] alwaysEncodeChars, boolean plusForSpace)
    Constructs a Percent codec by specifying the characters that belong to US-ASCII that should always be encoded.

    • PercentCodec

      public PercentCodec()
      Constructs a Percent coded that will encode all the non US-ASCII characters using the Percent-Encoding while it will not encode all the US-ASCII characters, except for character '%' that is used as escape character for Percent-Encoding.

    • PercentCodec

      public PercentCodec(byte[] alwaysEncodeChars, boolean plusForSpace)
      Constructs a Percent codec by specifying the characters that belong to US-ASCII that should always be encoded. The rest US-ASCII characters will not be encoded, except for character '%' that is used as escape character for Percent-Encoding.
      Parameters:
      alwaysEncodeChars - the unsafe characters that should always be encoded
      plusForSpace - the flag defining if the space character should be encoded as '+'

  • Method Details

    • decode

      public byte[] decode(byte[] bytes) throws DecoderException
      Decodes bytes encoded with Percent-Encoding based on RFC 3986. The reverse process is performed in order to decode the encoded characters to Unicode.
      Specified by:
      decode in interface BinaryDecoder
      Parameters:
      bytes - A byte array which has been encoded with the appropriate encoder
      Returns:
      a byte array that contains decoded content
      Throws:
      DecoderException - A decoder exception is thrown if a Decoder encounters a failure condition during the decode process.

    • decode

      public Object decode(Object obj) throws DecoderException
      Decodes a byte[] Object, whose bytes are encoded with Percent-Encoding.
      Specified by:
      decode in interface Decoder
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to decode
      Returns:
      the decoding result byte[] as Object
      Throws:
      DecoderException - if the object is not a byte array

    • encode

      public byte[] encode(byte[] bytes) throws EncoderException
      Percent-Encoding based on RFC 3986. The non US-ASCII characters are encoded, as well as the US-ASCII characters that are configured to be always encoded.
      Specified by:
      encode in interface BinaryEncoder
      Parameters:
      bytes - Data to be encoded
      Returns:
      A byte array containing the encoded data
      Throws:
      EncoderException - thrown if the Encoder encounters a failure condition during the encoding process.

    • encode

      public Object encode(Object obj) throws EncoderException
      Encodes an object into using the Percent-Encoding. Only byte[] objects are accepted.
      Specified by:
      encode in interface Encoder
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to encode
      Returns:
      the encoding result byte[] as Object
      Throws:
      EncoderException - if the object is not a byte array
