User Documentation¶
rfc3986
has several API features and convenience methods. The core of
rfc3986
’s API revolves around parsing, validating, and building URIs.
There is an API to provide compatibility with urllib.parse
, there is an
API to parse a URI as a URI Reference, there’s an API to provide validation of
URIs, and finally there’s an API to build URIs.
Note
There’s presently no support for IRIs as defined in RFC 3987.
rfc3986
parses URIs much differently from urllib.parse
so users may
see some subtle differences with very specific URLs that contain rough
edgecases. Regardless, we do our best to implement the same API so you should
be able to seemlessly swap rfc3986
for urlparse
.
