URL

The URL component provides a strict URL type that guarantees a scheme and authority are always present. It builds on top of the URI and IRI packages, adding validation and default port stripping.

Parsing

Parse a URL string with strict validation; scheme and authority are required:

@example('networking/url-parsing.php')

Default ports are automatically stripped for known schemes (HTTP 80, HTTPS 443, FTP 21, SSH 22, and many more).

From URI

Convert a parsed URI to a URL with validation:

@example('networking/url-from-uri.php')

Throws InvalidURLException if the URI is missing a scheme, authority, or has a rootless path.

From IRI

Convert an internationalized IRI directly to a URL, applying Punycode encoding and percent-encoding in one step:

@example('networking/url-from-iri.php')

Converting Back to URI

A URL can be converted back to a URI for use with the full URI API:

@example('networking/url-to-uri.php')

See src/Psl/URL/ for the full API.
