query(percentEncoded:)

Returns the query component of the URL, optionally removing any percent-encoding.

Declaration

func query(percentEncoded: Bool = true) -> String?

Parameters

  • percentEncoded:

    A Boolean value that indicates whether the URL percent-encodes any unreserved characters. Defaults to true.

Return Value

The query component of the URL, optionally percent-encoding any unreserved characters.

Discussion

The system doesn’t allow certain characters in the URL query component, so URL percent-encodes those characters to create a valid URL. Calling this function with percentEncoded = false removes any percent-encoding and returns the unencoded query.

If the URL doesn’t contain a query component according to RFC 3986, this function returns nil.
