print Dumper(MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->new('http://www.perl.org'));

try {

DESCRIPTION

This module parses an IRI reference as per RFC3987. It is intended as a data validation module using a strict grammar with good error reporting.

IRI DESCRIPTION

Quoted from the URI RFC 3986, with which an IRI is sharing the same principle, here is the overall structure of an URI that will help understand the meaning of the methods thereafter:

  foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose
  \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/
   |           |            |            |        |
scheme     authority       path        query   fragment
   |   _____________________|__
  / \ /                        \
  urn:example:animal:ferret:nose

The grammar is parsing both absolute IRI and relative IRI, the corresponding start rule being named a IRI reference.

An absolute IRI has the following structure:

IRI = scheme ":" ihier-part [ "?" iquery ] [ "#" ifragment ]

while a relative IRI is split into:

irelative-ref  = irelative-part [ "?" iquery ] [ "#" ifragment ]

Back to the overall structure, the authority is:

iauthority   = [ iuserinfo "@" ] ihost [ ":" port ]

where the host can be an IP-literal with Zone information, and IPV4 address or a registered name:

host = IP-literal / IPv4address / ireg-name

The Zone Identifier is an extension to original URI RFC3986, is defined in RFC6874, and has been applied into the IRI grammar (the current IRI spec just says it does not support Zone Identifiers); it is an IPv6addrz:

IP-literal = "[" ( IPv6address / IPv6addrz / IPvFuture  ) "]"

ZoneID = 1*( iunreserved / pct-encoded )

IPv6addrz = IPv6address "%25" ZoneID

CLASS METHODS

MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->new(@options --> InstanceOf['MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987'])

Instantiate a new object. Usage is either MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->new(value => $iri) or MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->new($iri). This method will croak if the the $iri parameter cannot coerce to a string nor is a valid IRI. The variable $self is used below to refer to this object instance.

MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->grammar( --> InstanceOf['Marpa::R2::Scanless::G'])

A Marpa::R2::Scanless::G instance, hosting the computed grammar. This is a class variable, i.e. works also with $self.

MarpaX::RFC::RFC3987->bnf( --> Str)

The BNF grammar used to parse an IRI. This is a class variable, i.e. works also with $self.

OBJECT METHODS

$self->value( --> Str)

The variable given in input to new().

$self->scheme( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI scheme. Can be undefined.

$self->iauthority( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI authority. Can be undefined.

$self->ipath( --> Str)

The IRI path. Note that an IRI always have a path, although it can be empty.

$self->iquery( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI query. Can be undefined.

$self->ifragment( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI fragment. Can be undefined.

$self->ihier_part( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI hier part. Can be undefined.

$self->iuserinfo( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI userinfo. Can be undefined.

$self->ihost( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI host. Can be undefined.

$self->port( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI port. Can be undefined.

$self->irelative_part( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI relative part. Can be undefined.

$self->ip_literal( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI IP literal. Can be undefined.

$self->zoneid( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI IP's zone id. Can be undefined.

$self->ipv4address( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI IP Version 4 address. Can be undefined.

$self->ireg_name( --> Str|Undef)

The IRI registered name. Can be undefined.

$self->is_absolute( --> Bool)

Returns a true value if the IRI is absolute, false otherwise.
