<init>

Utility class for URI encoding and decoding based on RFC 3986. Offers encoding methods for the various URI components.

All encode*(String, String) methods in this class operate in a similar way:

• Valid characters for the specific URI component as defined in RFC 3986 stay the same.
• All other characters are converted into one or more bytes in the given encoding scheme. Each of the resulting bytes is written as a hexadecimal string in the "%xy" format.
