## Class UriComponents

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.web.util.UriComponents

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public abstract class UriComponents
      extends Object
      implements Serializable

  Represents an immutable collection of URI components, mapping component type to string values. Contains convenience getters for all components. Effectively similar to `URI`, but with more powerful encoding options and support for URI template variables.

    3.1

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### UriComponents

          protected UriComponents(String scheme,
                       String fragment)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getScheme

          public final String getScheme()

      Returns the scheme. Can be `null`.

    - #### getSchemeSpecificPart

          public abstract String getSchemeSpecificPart()

      Returns the scheme specific part. Can be `null`.

    - #### getUserInfo

          public abstract String getUserInfo()

      Returns the user info. Can be `null`.

    - #### getHost

          public abstract String getHost()

      Returns the host. Can be `null`.

    - #### getPort

          public abstract int getPort()

      Returns the port. Returns `-1` if no port has been set.

    - #### getPath

          public abstract String getPath()

      Returns the path. Can be `null`.

    - #### getPathSegments

          public abstract List<String> getPathSegments()

      Returns the list of path segments. Empty if no path has been set.

    - #### getQuery

          public abstract String getQuery()

      Returns the query. Can be `null`.

    - #### getQueryParams

          public abstract MultiValueMap<String,String> getQueryParams()

      Returns the map of query parameters. Empty if no query has been set.

    - #### getFragment

          public final String getFragment()

      Returns the fragment. Can be `null`.

    - #### encode

          public final UriComponents encode()

      Encode all URI components using their specific encoding rules, and returns the result as a new `UriComponents` instance. This method uses UTF-8 to encode.
      Returns:
        the encoded uri components

    - #### encode

          public abstract UriComponents encode(String encoding)
                                        throws UnsupportedEncodingException

      Encode all URI components using their specific encoding rules, and returns the result as a new `UriComponents` instance.
      Parameters:
        `encoding` - the encoding of the values contained in this map
      Returns:
        the encoded uri components
      Throws:
        `UnsupportedEncodingException` - if the given encoding is not supported

    - #### expand

          public final UriComponents expand(Map<String,?> uriVariables)

      Replaces all URI template variables with the values from a given map. The map keys represent variable names; the values variable values. The order of variables is not significant.
      Parameters:
        `uriVariables` - the map of URI variables
      Returns:
        the expanded uri components

    - #### expand

          public final UriComponents expand(Object... uriVariableValues)

      Replaces all URI template variables with the values from a given array. The array represent variable values. The order of variables is significant.
      Parameters:
        `uriVariableValues` - URI variable values
      Returns:
        the expanded uri components

    - #### normalize

          public abstract UriComponents normalize()

      Normalize the path removing sequences like "path/..".
      See Also:
        `StringUtils.cleanPath(String)`

    - #### toUriString

          public abstract String toUriString()

      Returns a URI string from this `UriComponents` instance.

    - #### toUri

          public abstract URI toUri()

      Returns a `URI` from this `UriComponents` instance.

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
