💖 RDF::Redland::URI — the Redland RDF URI Class 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for RDF::Redland::URI, a.k.a. the Redland RDF URI Class, and she is serving user contributed Perl documentation realness. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

RDF::Redland::URI — the Redland RDF URI Class. say hi, she's iconic. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, literally copy-paste coded:

use RDF::Redland;

my $uri=new RDF::Redland::URI("http://example.com/");

my $uri2=RDF::Redland::URI->new_from_uri($uri);

print $uri2->as_string,"\n";

look at her go 🦋 — make a URI, clone-ish it through the old way, print it out. slay.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what is this? it represents a URI as a mostly-opaque object for identifying things in the RDF world. mostly-opaque means you're not really supposed to peek inside her business — she's there to be an identity, not a little puzzle for you to take apart. 👑

and these URIs also get used for identifying features for the RDF::Redland::Parser and RDF::Redland::Serializer classes. so like, she's not just a pretty string, she's the ID card for the whole friend group. 💜

---

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

• new STRING — makes a fresh new RDF::Redland::URI object out of a URI string. give her a STRING, get a whole URI back. princess treatment. ✨
• clone URI — copies an RDF::Redland::URI. a duplicate, but make it couture. 💖

---

🌈 METHODS 🌈

• as_string — returns the statement formatted as a string (UTF-8 encoded). yes, the description says statement, and yes, we're keeping that exactly as written, don't look at me 😭
• equals URI — returns non-zero if this uri is equal to URI. so: truthy = same girl, falsy = different girl. fr fr. 🫶

---

💀 OLD METHODS 💀

not me showing you the deprecated stuff... but you gotta know it exists, bestie.

• new_from_uri URI — creates a new RDF::Redland::URI object from an RDF::Redland::URI URI (that's a copy constructor, iykyk). instead use:

$u=$uri->clone

like, the clone method is right there and she's the moment. use her. the old one is giving legacy energy 🙈
