# @ohos.uri (URI String Parsing)

The uri module provides APIs for parsing URI strings that comply with the RFC3986 standard. This standard defines how to encode and parse the identifiers used to locate network resources. The module does not support parsing of URIs in non-standard scenarios.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.


## Modules to Import

```ts
import { uri } from '@kit.ArkTS';
```

## URI

Implements a URI, which provides APIs for determining whether objects are equal as well as standard paths.

### Naming Rules

Naming format:

A standard URI mainly consists of three parts, as follows:

[scheme:]scheme-specific-part[#fragment]

The generic URI syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of components, as follows:

[scheme:][//authority][path][?query][#fragment]

It can be further divided into the following parts:

[scheme:][//[user-info@]host[:port]][path][?query][#fragment]

- scheme: scheme name, which is separated from scheme-specific-part by a colon (:). The URI that contains the scheme component is an absolute URI, and the URI that does not contain the scheme component is a relative URI. Set this part as required. Example values: **http**, **https**, **ftp**, and **datashare**.
- scheme-specific-part: specific part of the URI decoding scheme. It is located between [scheme:] and [#fragment] and consists of [//][authority][path][?query]. The URI that starts with a slash (/) is a hierarchical URI, and the URI that does not start with a slash (/) is an opaque URI. Set this part as required.
    - authority: decoding authority component of the URI. The value consists of [userinfo@]host[:port]. Set this part as required.
        - userinfo: user information, which is separated from host by an at sign (@). Set this part as required.
        - host: host name of the server. This parameter is mandatory when authority exists.
        - port: port number of the server. The default value is **-1**. Set this part as required.
    - path: path information, which is located between host and query and separated by a slash (/). Set this part as required.
    - query: query component, which is located between path and fragment, indicated by the first question mark (?) character, and is in the format of key-value pairs. Multiple key-value pairs are separated by the at sign (&), and the key and value in a pair is separated by the equal sign (=). Set this part as required.
- fragment: fragment component, which is separated from scheme-specific-part by the pound key (#). Set this part as required.
