Uniform Resource Identifier

The openURI library is intended to provide basic support for handling RFC3986 Unique Resource Identifiers. The palette exposes a set of URI composition and decomposition methods that act through regular expressions to manipulate the parts according to the norm.

Official terminology for URIs can be found at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986

As an example, let's consider the URI below: https://username:password@tools.ietf.org:443/html/rfc3986?query=test&query2=test2#appendix-A

The library handles decomposition of the URI into its basic components:

scheme = https
authority = username:password@tools.ietf.org:443
path = "html/rfc3986"
query = "query=test&query2=test2"
fragment = "#appendix-A"
Authority is further decomposable into:

userinfo = "username:password"
host = "tools.ietf.org"
port = "443"
Query can further be decomposed into key-value pairs:

array of key-value pairs
1st pair: key = "query", value = "test"
2nd pair: key = "query2", value = "test2"
Planned future development includes:

validation of URIs
recognition of URN and URL specificities, including IPv4 and IPv6
percent-encoding, HTML entities, etc.
