Crate packageurl[][src]

packageurl is an implementation of the Package URL specification for the Rust programming language.

Parsing

Parse a package url after bringing the FromStr trait in scope:

use std::str::FromStr;
use packageurl::PackageUrl;

let purl = PackageUrl::from_str("pkg:npm/%40angular/animation@12.3.1").unwrap();
assert!(purl.name == "animation");
assert!(purl.namespace.unwrap() == "@angular");

Parsing a purl may fail, in which case an error kind from the errors module is returned:

use std::str::FromStr;
use packageurl::PackageUrl;

let err = PackageUrl::from_str("package@0.1.0").unwrap_err();
assert!(err.description() == "missing scheme");

The parsed PackageUrl will have a 'static lifetime, so that the parsed string can be safely discarded.
