Method Detail

createNew

public static QueryStringBuilder createNew()

Return a new empty instance of QueryStringBuilder

createFrom

public static QueryStringBuilder createFrom(String parameters)

Build a query string from the given URL. If a '?' character is encountered in the URL, the any characters up to and including the first '?' will be ignored.

createFromArrays

public static QueryStringBuilder createFromArrays(Map<String,String[]> params)

Build a query string from the given map of name=value pairs. For parameters with more than one value, each value will be appended using the same name.

createFromLists

public static QueryStringBuilder createFromLists(Map<String,List<String>> params)

Build a query string from the given map of name=value pairs. For parameters with more than one value, each value will be appended using the same name.

addParameters

public QueryStringBuilder addParameters(String url)

Add parameters from the given URL. If a '?' character is encountered in the URL, the any characters up to and including the first '?' will be ignored. If a parameter already exists, append new values to the existing list of values for that parameter.

addParameter

public void addParameter(String name,
                         String... values)

Add a single parameter with the given values.

addParameterArrays

public QueryStringBuilder addParameterArrays(Map<String,String[]> params)

Add parameters from the given map of name=value pairs. For parameters with more than one value, each value will be appended using the same name. If a parameter already exists, append new values to the existing list of values for that parameter.

addParameterLists

public QueryStringBuilder addParameterLists(Map<String,List<String>> params)

Add parameters from the given map of name=value pairs. For parameters with more than one value, each value will be appended using the same name. If a parameter already exists, append new values to the existing list of values for that parameter.

decode

public QueryStringBuilder decode()

Return a new QueryStringBuilder instance having called URLDecoder.decode(String, String) on each name=value pair.

encode

public QueryStringBuilder encode()

Return a new QueryStringBuilder instance having called URLEncoder.encode(String, String) on each name=value pair.

getParameter

public String getParameter(String name)

Get the first value of given parameter name.

Returns:

The value of the parameter, null if the parameter does not exist, or "" if the parameter exists but has no values.

getParameterMap

public Map<String,List<String>> getParameterMap()

Get the name, values[] map representing this query string.

getParameterNames

public Set<String> getParameterNames()

Get set of parameter names currently stored in this query string.

getParameterValues

public String[] getParameterValues(String name)

Get the array of values for a given parameter name.

Returns:

The values of the parameter, null if the parameter does not exist.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Return true if this query string currently contains no parameters.

removeParameter

public List<String> removeParameter(String string)

toQueryString

public String toQueryString()

Convert the current parameters to a valid query string, including the leading '?' character.

For example, a QueryStringBuilder with the values [key=>value, name=>value1,value2,value3] will become:

 
 ?key=value&name=value1&name=value2&name=value3
 

Returns:

If parameters exist, return a valid query string with leading '?' character. If no parameters exist, return an empty string.
