linkhum-url
URLs which users provide could be both in human-readable form and in
URL-encoded form. linkhum-url gem parses URLs in any representation
and returns both representations: human-readable and URL-encoded.
linkhum-url handles IDNs and Punycode in domain names. Behind the
scenes addressable gem is used to handle actual URL parsing.
This is a sister gem to
linkhum.
Usage
linkhum-url has only one method: Linkhum::URL.parse(url). It
accepts URL in any representation (usually provided by user) and
returns Hash with two keys: :human_readable and :url_encoded.
Human-readable representation should be displayed to the user, while
URL-encoded representation should be used for HTTP queries, HTML
embedding etc.
