Could you share a link to an URL parsing implementation?

Answer 1

The URL class gives you everything you need. See http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URL.html

URL url = new URL("protocol://user:password@host:port/path/document?arg1=val1&arg2=val2#part");
url.getProtocol();
url.getUserInfo();
url.getAuthority();
url.getHost();
url.getPort();
url.getPath(); // document part is contained within the path field
url.getQuery();
url.getRef(); // gets #part

Answer 2

In Java, just use the URL class. It provides methods such as getProtocol, getHost, etc. to obtain the different parts of the URL.

Answer 3

Use the java.net.URI class for this. URLs are for real resources and real protocols. URIs are for possibly non-existent protocols and resources.
