Percent.Encoder

A simple, fast percent encoder/decoder for bytestrings. Encodes all bytes except for those matching the unreserved set in RFC 3986.

Example

ghci> :set -XOverloadedStrings
ghci> import Percent.Encoder
ghci> encode "I have to tell you about this simple lib!"
"I%20have%20to%20tell%20you%20about%20this%20simple%20lib%21"
ghci> decode "TELL-ME-MORE%20%3A%29"
"TELL-ME-MORE :)"

Benchmark

My naive benchmark shows percent-encoder, compared to Network.URI to be about 2x faster than at encoding and the same speed at decoding a fixed string:

$ ghc --version

$ cabal bench criterion

Gotchas

  • Does not check for invalid UTF-8 byte sequences
  • Does not protect against decoding invalid strings, like "%"
