data-url
The data-url
library adds support for the data
protocol as specified in RFC 2397.
There are several ways to create data URLs. Most are described by the URL class.
- Make use of a shared URLStreamHandlerFactory set on the URL class. This must return an instance of Handler for the
data
protocol. - Add package
com.github.robtimus.net.protocol
to system propertyjava.protocol.handler.pkgs
. - Use this URL constructor, and provide an instance of Handler as the URLStreamHandler. The
context
argument can remainnull
.- It's ill-advised to use this constructor, because it does not ensure the data URL is correctly formatted.
- Use utility class DataURLs.
Note that class Handler is stateless, and therefore instances can be shared among multiple threads.
