boost::urls::params_encoded_ref

Mutable encoded query parameter proxy

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/url/params_encoded_ref.hpp>
class params_encoded_ref
    : public params_encoded_base

Description

This container exposes the percent-encoded query parameters of a url_base as a bidirectional range while allowing mutation of the underlying URL. It references the URL’s buffer directly, so the url must stay alive for the lifetime of the proxy.

Example

url u( "?first=John&last=Doe" ); params_encoded_ref p = u.encoded_params();

Strings produced when elements are returned have type param_pct_view and represent encoded strings. Strings passed to member functions may contain percent escapes, and throw exceptions on invalid inputs.

Iterator Invalidation

Changes to the underlying character buffer can invalidate iterators which reference it. Modifications made through the container invalidate some iterators to the underlying character buffer:

Reads vs. writes

Even though this type can be used to mutate the referenced URL, this is still a proxy and every observer function inherited from params_encoded_base (for example contains, find, and get_or) behaves like the corresponding function on params_encoded_view: it inspects the current encoded query and does not perform any modifications.
