Url Parsing in Julia

Here’s the translation of the Go URL parsing example to Julia, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:

using URIs

function main()
    # We'll parse this example URL, which includes a
    # scheme, authentication info, host, port, path,
    # query params, and query fragment.
    s = "postgres://user:pass@host.com:5432/path?k=v#f"

    # Parse the URL and ensure there are no errors.
    u = URI(s)

    # Accessing the scheme is straightforward.
    println(scheme(u))

    # User info contains all authentication info; we can extract
    # username and password separately.
    println(userinfo(u))
    println(split(userinfo(u), ':')[1])  # username
    println(split(userinfo(u), ':')[2])  # password

    # The host contains both the hostname and the port,
    # if present. We can extract them separately.
    println(host(u))
    println(hostname(u))
    println(port(u))

    # Here we extract the path and the fragment after
    # the '#'.
    println(path(u))
    println(fragment(u))

    # To get query params in a string of 'k=v' format,
    # use query. You can also parse query params
    # into a dictionary.
    println(query(u))
    m = queryparams(u)
    println(m)
    println(m["k"])
end

main()

Running our URL parsing program shows all the different pieces that we extracted:

postgres
user:pass
user
pass
host.com:5432
host.com
5432
/path
f
k=v
Dict{String, String}("k" => "v")
v

This example demonstrates how to parse URLs in Julia using the URIs package. The structure is similar to the original, but adapted to Julia’s syntax and conventions:

We use the URIs package instead of the net/url package.
The URI constructor is used to parse the URL string.
Julia provides functions like scheme, userinfo, host, etc., to access different parts of the URI.
The queryparams function is used to parse query parameters into a dictionary.
Error handling is implicit in Julia, so we don’t need explicit error checking after parsing the URL.

Julia’s URIs package provides a robust way to work with URLs, allowing easy access to different components of a URI.
