NAME

6       CGI::Deurl::XS - Fast decoder for URL parameter strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use CGI::Deurl::XS 'parse_query_string';
10
11         my $hash = parse_query_string('foo=bar&baz=quux&baz=qiix');
12         # $hash = { 'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => ['quux', 'qiix'] };
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module decodes a URL-encoded parameter string in the manner of
16       CGI.pm.  However, as it uses C code from libapreq to perform the task,
17       it's somewhere from slightly to much faster (depending on your strings)
18       than using CGI or a functionally similar module like CGI::Deurl.

FUNCTIONS

21       parse_query_string()
22             $hash_ref = CGI::Deurl::XS::parse_query_string($query_string)
23
24           Parses the given query string. If the string is empty, returns
25           undef. Otherwise returns a hash reference containing the key/value
26           pairs encoded by the string.  Empty values are returned as undef.
27           If a parameter appears only once, it's value in the hash is the
28           scalar value of the encoded parameter value. If a parameter appears
29           more than once, the hash value is an array reference containing
30           each value given (with value order preserved). Obviously, parameter
31           order is not preserved in the hash.
32
33           HTTP escapes (ASCII and Unicode) are decoded in both keys and
34           values. The utf8 flag is not set on returned strings, nor are
35           non-utf8 encodings decoded.
36

EXPORT

38       None by default, parse_query_string at request.
