NAME

       Badger::Codec::URL - URL encode/decode

SYNOPSIS

           use Badger::Codec::URL;
           my $codec   = Badger::Codec::URL->new();
           my $encoded = $codec->encode("Hello World!");
           my $decoded = $codec->decode($encoded);

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec for URL encoding and decoding.  Note the difference
       between URI and URL.  URI encoding is strict and encodes characters like ";", "?"  and "/".  The URL
       codec is more lax and does not encode these characters.

       The URI codec should be used for encoding URL parameters.  The URL codec can be used to encode complete
       URLs.

FUNCTIONS

   encode_url($data)
       This function URL-encodes the $data passed as an argument.

   decode_url($data)
       This function URL-decodes the $data passed as an argument.

METHODS

   encode($data)
       This method URL-encodes the data referenced by the first argument.  It delegates to the encode_url()
       function.

           $encoded = Badger::Codec::URL->encode($data);

   decode($data)
       This method decodes the encoded data passed as the first argument.  It delegates to the decode_url()
       function.

           $decoded = Badger::Codec::URL->decode($encoded);

   encoder()
       This method returns a reference to the encode_url() function.

   decoder()
       This method returns a reference to the decode_url() function.
