Addressable
A flexible Ruby URI library with heuristic parsing, IRI support, and RFC-compliant URI templates.
What is Addressable?
Addressable is a Ruby library that provides an alternative implementation to Ruby's standard URI module. It offers enhanced parsing flexibility, support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs), and comprehensive URI template functionality based on RFC standards. It solves the limitations of Ruby's built-in URI handling for modern web applications requiring robust URI manipulation.
Ruby developers building web applications, APIs, or tools that require reliable URI parsing, internationalization support, or dynamic URI generation using templates.
Developers choose Addressable for its strict RFC compliance, heuristic parsing that handles edge cases, and advanced features like IRI support and URI templates not available in Ruby's standard library, making it a more robust and future-proof solution.
Overview
Addressable is an alternative implementation to the URI implementation that is part of Ruby's standard library. It is flexible, offers heuristic parsing, and additionally provides extensive support for IRIs and URI templates.
