The
ParameterParser is used to parse data encoded in the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME type. It is also used to parse a query string from a HTTP URL, see RFC 2616. The parsed parameters are available through the various methods of the
org.simpleframework.http.net.Query interface. The syntax of the parsed parameters is described below in BNF.
params = *(pair [ "&" params]) pair = name "=" value name = *(text | escaped) value = *(text | escaped) escaped = % HEX HEX
This will consume all data found as a name or value, if the data is a "+" character then it is replaced with a space character. This regards only "=", "&", and "%" as having special values. The "=" character delimits the name from the value and the "&" delimits the name value pair. The "%" character represents the start of an escaped sequence, which consists of two hex digits. All escaped sequences are converted to its character value.
