Important differences include: + +Rose::URI provides a rich set of query string manipulation methods. +Query parameters can be added, removed, and checked for their +existence. URI allows the entire query to be set or returned as a +whole via the query_form or query methods, and the URI::QueryParam +module provides a few more methods for query string manipulation. + +Rose::URI supports query parameters with multiple values (e.g. +"a=1&a=2"). URI has limited support for this through query_form's +list return value. Better methods are available in URI::QueryParam. + +Rose::URI uses Apache's C-based URI parsing and HTML escaping +functions when running in a mod_perl 1.x web server environment. + +Rose::URI stores each URI "in pieces" (scheme, host, path, etc.) +and then assembles those pieces when the entire URI is needed as +a string. This technique is based on the assumption that the URI +will be manipulated many more times than it is stringified. If this +is not the case in your usage scenario, then URI may be a better +alternative. |
