// URLs provide a [uniform way to locate resources](https://adam.herokuapp.com/past/2010/3/30/urls_are_the_uniform_way_to_locate_resources/). // Here's how to parse URLs in Go. package main import ( "fmt" "net" "net/url" ) func main() { // We'll parse this example URL, which includes a // scheme, authentication info, host, port, path, // query params, and query fragment. s := "postgres://user:pass@host.com:5432/path?k=v#f" // Parse the URL and ensure there are no errors. u, err := url.Parse(s) if err != nil { panic(err) } // Accessing the scheme is straightforward. fmt.Println(u.Scheme) // `User` contains all authentication info; call // `Username` and `Password` on this for individual // values. fmt.Println(u.User) fmt.Println(u.User.Username()) p, _ := u.User.Password() fmt.Println(p) // The `Host` contains both the hostname and the port, // if present. Use `SplitHostPort` to extract them. fmt.Println(u.Host) host, port, _ := net.SplitHostPort(u.Host) fmt.Println(host) fmt.Println(port) // Here we extract the `path` and the fragment after // the `#`. fmt.Println(u.Path) fmt.Println(u.Fragment) // To get query params in a string of `k=v` format, // use `RawQuery`. You can also parse query params // into a map. The parsed query param maps are from // strings to slices of strings, so index into `[0]` // if you only want the first value. fmt.Println(u.RawQuery) m, _ := url.ParseQuery(u.RawQuery) fmt.Println(m) fmt.Println(m["k"][0]) }
