Description

url_base

Description

Objects of this type are used to interpret the query parameters as a bidirectional view of key/value pairs. The view does not retain ownership of the elements and instead references the original url. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the referenced url extends until it is no longer referenced. The view is modifiable; calling non-const members causes changes to the referenced url. Percent escapes in strings returned when dereferencing iterators are automatically decoded. Reserved characters in strings supplied to modifier functions are automatically percent-escaped.

Example

url u( "?first=John&last=Doe" );

params_ref p = u.params();

Iterator Invalidation

Changes to the underlying character buffer can invalidate iterators which reference it. Modifications made through the container invalidate some or all iterators:

  • append : Only end().

  • assign, clear, operator= : All elements.

  • erase : Erased elements and all elements after (including end()).

  • insert : All elements at or after the insertion point (including end()).

  • replace, set : Modified elements and all elements after (including end()).
