Member Functions

Name

Description

url

Return the referenced url.

Static Member Functions

Name

Description

max_size

Return the maximum number of characters possible.

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.

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

params_encoded_ref p = u.encoded_params();

Strings produced when elements are returned have type param_pct_view and represent encoded strings. Strings passed to member functions may contain percent escapes, and throw exceptions on invalid inputs.

Iterator Invalidation

Changes to the underlying character buffer can invalidate iterators which reference it. Modifications made through the container invalidate some iterators to the underlying character buffer: * append : Only end(). * assign, clear, operator= : All params. * erase : Erased params and all params after (including end()). * insert : All params at or after the insertion point (including end()). * replace, set : Modified params and all params after (including end()).
