Java library/class to parse clean URLs and get its different components [closed]

Question

I am looking for a java library/class to parse clean URL's and get all the properties like query, port, host , domain, subdomain etc. Essentially most of the functionality that java.net.URI does but even for clean URLs. I am guessing since this is a pretty common requirement, there might be some libraries already built to handle this. Help?

Answer 1

java.net.URL class has methods getHost(), getPort(), getQuery(), getPath().

You can also look at URI class, it's more preferred to use it.

Answer 2

The standard Java Url classes do not have functionality to parse request parameters. There is a utility class in Commons HTTP Client which has a useful method to do this.
