NAME

URI::Encode::XS - a Perl URI encoder/decoder using C

SYNOPSIS

use URI::Encode::XS qw/uri_encode uri_decode/;

my $encoded = uri_encode($data);
my $decoded = uri_decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

This is a Perl URI encoder/decoder written in XS based on RFC3986. This module always encodes characters that are not unreserved.

As of version 0.07, the bench script shows it to be significantly faster than URI::Escape:

Rate escape encode
escape   53944/s     --   -98%
encode 3017653/s  5494%     --
  Rate unescape   decode
unescape   74567/s       --     -97%
decode   2697001/s    3517%       --

However this is just one string - the fewer encoded/decoded characters are in the string, the closer the benchmark is likely to be (see bench for details of the benchmark). Different hardware will yield different results.

Another fast encoder/decoder which supports custom escape lists, is URI::XSEscape.
