Public predicates

valid/1

True iff the argument is a valid URL, including optional query and fragment components.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
valid(URL)
Mode and number of proofs:
valid(++text) - zero_or_one

parse/2

Parses a URL into a list of its components: [scheme(Scheme), authority(Authority), path(Path), query(Query), fragment(Fragment)]. Fails if the URL is invalid and cannot be parsed.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
parse(URL,Components)
Mode and number of proofs:
parse(++text,-list(compound)) - zero_or_one

generate/2

Generates a URL from a list of its components: [scheme(Scheme), authority(Authority), path(Path), query(Query), fragment(Fragment)] for standard URLs, or scheme-specific components for mailto, news, tel, and urn URLs. Fails if the components are invalid.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
generate(Components,URL)
Mode and number of proofs:
generate(++list(compound),-text) - zero_or_one

normalize/2

Normalizes a URL by standardizing its components. Normalization includes converting scheme and authority to lowercase, ensuring proper path separators, and handling relative paths.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
normalize(URL,NormalizedURL)
Mode and number of proofs:
normalize(++text,-text) - one

Protected predicates

(no local declarations; see entity ancestors if any)

Private predicates

downcase_text/2

Converts text to lowercase (ASCII only). Only uppercase letters A-Z are converted to lowercase.

Compilation flags:
static
Template:
downcase_text(Text,LowerText)
Mode and number of proofs:
downcase_text(+text,-text) - one

Operators
