URI::Encode::XS - a Perl URI encoder/decoder using C
use URI::Encode::XS qw/uri_encode uri_encode_utf8 uri_decode uri_decode_utf8/; my $encoded = uri_encode($data); my $decoded = uri_decode($encoded); # utf8 friendly my $encoded = uri_encode_utf8($data); my $decoded = uri_decode_utf8($encoded);
This is a Perl URI encoder/decoder written in XS based on RFC3986. This module always encodes characters that are not unreserved. When decoding, invalid escape sequences are preserved, e.g:
uri_decode("foo%20bar%a/"); # foo bar%a/ uri_decode("foo%20bar%a"); # foo bar%a uri_decode("foo%20bar%"); # foo bar%
As of version 0.10, the bench script shows it to be significantly faster than URI::Escape:
bench
URI::Escape
Rate escape encode_utf8 encode escape 140114/s -- -94% -98% encode_utf8 2255100/s 1509% -- -71% encode 7735189/s 5421% 243% -- Rate unescape decode_utf8 decode unescape 188714/s -- -95% -97% decode_utf8 3744638/s 1884% -- -50% decode 7429263/s 3837% 98% --
However this is just one string - the fewer encoded/decoded characters are in the string, the closer the benchmark is likely to be (see bench for details of the benchmark). Different hardware will yield different results.
Another fast encoder/decoder which supports custom escape lists, is URI::XSEscape.
