Introduction
------------

Url is constructed from ``str``:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> from yarl import URL
   >>> url = URL('https://www.python.org/~guido?arg=1#frag')
   >>> url
   URL('https://www.python.org/~guido?arg=1#frag')

All url parts: *scheme*, *user*, *password*, *host*, *port*, *path*,
*query* and *fragment* are accessible by properties:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> url.scheme
   'https'
   >>> url.host
   'www.python.org'
   >>> url.path
   '/~guido'
   >>> url.query_string
   'arg=1'
   >>> url.query
   <MultiDictProxy('arg': '1')>
   >>> url.fragment
   'frag'

All url manipulations produce a new url object:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> url = URL('https://www.python.org')
   >>> url / 'foo' / 'bar'
   URL('https://www.python.org/foo/bar')
   >>> url / 'foo' % {'bar': 'baz'}
   URL('https://www.python.org/foo?bar=baz')

Strings passed to constructor and modification methods are
automatically encoded giving canonical representation as result:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> url = URL('https://www.python.org/шлях')
   >>> url
   URL('https://www.python.org/%D1%88%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%85')

Regular properties are *percent-decoded*, use ``raw_`` versions for
getting *encoded* strings:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> url.path
   '/шлях'

   >>> url.raw_path
   '/%D1%88%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%85'

Human readable representation of URL is available as ``.human_repr()``:

.. code-block:: pycon

   >>> url.human_repr()
   'https://www.python.org/шлях'

For full documentation please read https://yarl.aio-libs.org.


Installation
------------

::

   $ pip install yarl

The library is Python 3 only!

PyPI contains binary wheels for Linux, Windows and MacOS.  If you want to install
``yarl`` on another operating system where wheels are not provided,
the tarball will be used to compile the library from
the source code. It requires a C compiler and and Python headers installed.

To skip the compilation you must explicitly opt-in by using a PEP 517
configuration setting ``pure-python``, or setting the ``YARL_NO_EXTENSIONS``
environment variable to a non-empty value, e.g.:

.. code-block:: console

   $ pip install yarl --config-settings=pure-python=false

Please note that the pure-Python (uncompiled) version is much slower. However,
PyPy always uses a pure-Python implementation, and, as such, it is unaffected
by this variable.

Dependencies
------------

YARL requires multidict_ and propcache_ libraries.


API documentation
------------------

The documentation is located at https://yarl.aio-libs.org.


Why isn't boolean supported by the URL query API?
-------------------------------------------------

There is no standard for boolean representation of boolean values.

Some systems prefer ``true``/``false``, others like ``yes``/``no``, ``on``/``off``,
``Y``/``N``, ``1``/``0``, etc.

``yarl`` cannot make an unambiguous decision on how to serialize ``bool`` values because
it is specific to how the end-user's application is built and would be different for
different apps.  The library doesn't accept booleans in the API; a user should convert
bools into strings using own preferred translation protocol.


Comparison with other URL libraries
------------------------------------

* furl (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/furl)

  The library has rich functionality but the ``furl`` object is mutable.

  I'm afraid to pass this object into foreign code: who knows if the
  code will modify my url in a terrible way while I just want to send URL
  with handy helpers for accessing URL properties.

  ``furl`` has other non-obvious tricky things but the main objection
  is mutability.

* URLObject (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/URLObject)

  URLObject is immutable, that's pretty good.

  Every URL change generates a new URL object.

  But the library doesn't do any decode/encode transformations leaving the
  end user to cope with these gory details.

1.23.0
======

*(2025-12-16)*


Features
--------

- Added support for ``pydantic``, the ``~yarl.URL`` could be used as a
  field type in ``pydantic`` models seamlessly.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1607 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1607>`__.


Packaging updates and notes for downstreams
-------------------------------------------

- The CI has been set up to notify Codecov about upload completion
  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  With this, Codecov no longer needs to guess whether it received all
  the intended coverage reports or not.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1577 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1577>`__.

- The in-tree build backend allows the end-users appending
  ``CFLAGS`` and ``LDFLAGS`` by setting respective environment
  variables externally.

  It additionally sets up default compiler flags to perform
  building with maximum optimization in release mode. This
  makes the resulting artifacts shipped to PyPI smaller.

  When line tracing is requested, the compiler and linker
  flags are configured to include as much information as
  possible for debugging and coverage tracking. The
  development builds are therefore smaller.

  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1586 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1586>`__.

- The `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ build backend now supports a new config
  setting for controlling whether to build the project in-tree
  or in a temporary directory. It only affects wheels and is
  set up to build in a temporary directory by default. It does
  not affect editable wheel builds — they will keep being
  built in-tree regardless.

  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__

  Here's an example of using this setting:

  .. code-block:: console

     $ python -m build \
         --config-setting=build-inplace=true

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1590 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1590>`__.

- Starting this version, when building the wheels is happening
  in an automatically created temporary directory, the build
  backend makes an effort to normalize the respective file
  system path to a deterministic source checkout directory.

  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__

  It does so by injecting the ``-ffile-prefix-map`` compiler
  option into the ``CFLAGS`` environment variable as suggested
  by known `reproducible build practices
  <https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/build-path/>`__.

  The effect is that downstreams will get more reproducible
  build results.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1591 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1591>`__.

- Dropped Python 3.9 support; Python 3.10 is the minimal supported Python version
  -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  `#1609 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1609>`__.


Contributor-facing changes
--------------------------

- The deprecated license classifier was removed from ``setup.cfg``
  -- by `@yegorich <https://github.com/sponsors/yegorich>`__.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1550 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1550>`__.

- The in-tree build backend allows the end-users appending
  ``CFLAGS`` and ``LDFLAGS`` by setting respective environment
  variables externally.

  It additionally sets up default compiler flags to perform
  building with maximum optimization in release mode. This
  makes the resulting artifacts shipped to PyPI smaller.

  When line tracing is requested, the compiler and linker
  flags are configured to include as much information as
  possible for debugging and coverage tracking. The

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1586 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1586>`__.

- The CI has been updated to consistently benchmark optimized
  release builds -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  When the release workflow is triggered, the pre-built wheels
  ready to hit PyPI are being tested. Otherwise, the job
  builds the project from source, while the rest of the
  workflow uses debug builds for line tracing and coverage
  collection.

1.20.1
======

*(2025-06-09)*


Bug fixes
---------

- Started raising a ``ValueError`` exception raised for corrupted
  IPv6 URL values.

  These fixes the issue where exception ``IndexError`` was
  leaking from the internal code because of not being handled and
  transformed into a user-facing error. The problem was happening
  under the following conditions: empty IPv6 URL, brackets in
  reverse order.

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams
-------------------------------------------

- Updated to use Cython 3.1 universally across the build path -- by `@lysnikolaou <https://github.com/sponsors/lysnikolaou>`__.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1514 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1514>`__.

- Made Cython line tracing opt-in via the ``with-cython-tracing`` build config setting -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  Previously, line tracing was enabled by default in ``pyproject.toml``, which caused build issues for some users and made wheels nearly twice as slow.
  Now line tracing is only enabled when explicitly requested via ``pip install . --config-setting=with-cython-tracing=true`` or by setting the ``YARL_CYTHON_TRACING`` environment variable.

Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes
---------------------------------------------------

- Migrated to using a single cache for encoding hosts -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  Passing ``ip_address_size`` and ``host_validate_size`` to ``yarl.cache_configure()`` is deprecated in favor of the new ``encode_host_size`` parameter and will be removed in a future release. For backwards compatibility, the old parameters affect the ``encode_host`` cache size.

1.9.10
======

*(2024-09-04)*


Bug fixes
---------

- ``URL.join()()`` has been changed to match
  ``3986`` and align with
  ``/ operation()`` and ``URL.joinpath()()``
  when joining URLs with empty segments.
  Previously ``urllib.parse.urljoin`` was used,
  which has known issues with empty segments
  (`python/cpython#84774 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84774>`_).

  Due to the semantics of ``URL.join()()``, joining an
  URL with scheme requires making it relative, prefixing with ``./``.

  .. code-block:: pycon

     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/").join(URL("./https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
     URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')


  Empty segments are honored in the base as well as the joined part.

  .. code-block:: pycon

     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/https://").join(URL("github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
     URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')

1.9.7
=====

*(2024-09-01)*


Removals and backward incompatible breaking changes
---------------------------------------------------

- Removed support ``3986#section-3.2.3`` port normalization when the scheme is not one of ``http``, ``https``, ``wss``, or ``ws`` -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  Support for port normalization was recently added in `#1033 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1033>`__ and contained code that would do blocking I/O if the scheme was not one of the four listed above. The code has been removed because this library is intended to be safe for usage with ``asyncio``.

Miscellaneous internal changes
------------------------------

- Improved performance of property caching -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  The ``reify`` implementation from ``aiohttp`` was adapted to replace the internal ``cached_property`` implementation.

1.9.6
=====

*(2024-08-30)*


Bug fixes
---------

- Reverted ``3986`` compatible ``URL.join()()`` honoring empty segments which was introduced in `#1039 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1039>`__.

  This change introduced a regression handling query string parameters with joined URLs. The change was reverted to maintain compatibility with the previous behavior.

1.9.5
=====

*(2024-08-30)*


Bug fixes
---------

- Joining URLs with empty segments has been changed
  to match ``3986``.

  Previously empty segments would be removed from path,
  breaking use-cases such as

  .. code-block:: python

     URL("https://web.archive.org/web/") / "https://github.com/"

  Now ``/ operation()`` and ``URL.joinpath()()``
  keep empty segments, but do not introduce new empty segments.
  e.g.

  .. code-block:: python

     URL("https://example.org/") / ""

  does not introduce an empty segment.

  -- by `@commonism <https://github.com/sponsors/commonism>`__ and `@youtux <https://github.com/sponsors/youtux>`__

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1026 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1026>`__.

- The default protocol ports of well-known URI schemes are now taken into account
  during the normalization of the URL string representation in accordance with
  ``3986#section-3.2.3``.

  Specified ports are removed from the ``str`` representation of a ``~yarl.URL``
  if the port matches the scheme's default port -- by `@commonism <https://github.com/sponsors/commonism>`__.

  *Related issues and pull requests on GitHub:*
  `#1033 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/1033>`__.

- ``URL.join()()`` has been changed to match
  ``3986`` and align with
  ``/ operation()`` and ``URL.joinpath()()``
  when joining URLs with empty segments.
  Previously ``urllib.parse.urljoin`` was used,
  which has known issues with empty segments
  (`python/cpython#84774 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84774>`_).

  Due to the semantics of ``URL.join()()``, joining an
  URL with scheme requires making it relative, prefixing with ``./``.

  .. code-block:: pycon

     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/").join(URL("./https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
     URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')


  Empty segments are honored in the base as well as the joined part.

  .. code-block:: pycon

     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/https://").join(URL("github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
     URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')

Packaging updates and notes for downstreams
-------------------------------------------

- A flaw in the logic for copying the project directory into a
  temporary folder that led to infinite recursion when ``TMPDIR``
  was set to a project subdirectory path. This was happening in Fedora
  and its downstream due to the use of `pyproject-rpm-macros
  <https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyproject-rpm-macros>`__. It was
  only reproducible with ``pip wheel`` and was not affecting the
  ``pyproject-build`` users.

Miscellaneous internal changes
------------------------------

- ``port``, ``scheme``, and ``raw_host`` are now ``cached_property`` -- by `@bdraco <https://github.com/sponsors/bdraco>`__.

  ``aiohttp`` accesses these properties quite often, which cause ``urllib`` to build the ``_hostinfo`` property every time. ``port``, ``scheme``, and ``raw_host`` are now cached properties, which will improve performance.

1.9.4 (2023-12-06)
==================

Bug fixes
---------

- Started raising ``TypeError`` when a string value is passed into
  ``yarl.URL.build()`` as the ``port`` argument  -- by `@commonism <https://github.com/sponsors/commonism>`__.

  Previously the empty string as port would create malformed URLs when rendered as string representations. (`#883 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/883>`__)


Packaging updates and notes for downstreams
-------------------------------------------

- The leading ``--`` has been dropped from the `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ in-tree build
  backend config setting names. ``--pure-python`` is now just ``pure-python``
  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  The usage now looks as follows:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -m build \
          --config-setting=pure-python=true \
          --config-setting=with-cython-tracing=true

  (`#963 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/963>`__)


Contributor-facing changes
--------------------------

- A step-by-step ``Release Guide`` guide has
  been added, describing how to release *yarl* -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  This is primarily targeting maintainers. (`#960 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/960>`__)
- Coverage collection has been implemented for the Cython modules
  -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  It will also be reported to Codecov from any non-release CI jobs.

  To measure coverage in a development environment, *yarl* can be
  installed in editable mode:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -Im pip install -e .

  Editable install produces C-files required for the Cython coverage
  plugin to map the measurements back to the PYX-files.

  `#961 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/961>`__

- It is now possible to request line tracing in Cython builds using the
  ``with-cython-tracing`` `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ config setting
  -- `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  This can be used in CI and development environment to measure coverage
  on Cython modules, but is not normally useful to the end-users or
  downstream packagers.

  Here's a usage example:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -Im pip install . --config-settings=with-cython-tracing=true

  For editable installs, this setting is on by default. Otherwise, it's
  off unless requested explicitly.

  The following produces C-files required for the Cython coverage
  plugin to map the measurements back to the PYX-files:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -Im pip install -e .

  Alternatively, the ``YARL_CYTHON_TRACING=1`` environment variable
  can be set to do the same as the `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ config setting.

  `#962 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/962>`__


1.9.3 (2023-11-20)
==================

Bug fixes
---------

- Stopped dropping trailing slashes in ``yarl.URL.joinpath()`` -- by `@gmacon <https://github.com/sponsors/gmacon>`__. (`#862 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/862>`__, `#866 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/866>`__)
- Started accepting string subclasses in ``yarl.URL.__truediv__()`` operations (``URL / segment``) -- by `@mjpieters <https://github.com/sponsors/mjpieters>`__. (`#871 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/871>`__, `#884 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/884>`__)
- Fixed the human representation of URLs with square brackets in usernames and passwords -- by `@mjpieters <https://github.com/sponsors/mjpieters>`__. (`#876 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/876>`__, `#882 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/882>`__)
- Updated type hints to include ``URL.missing_port()``, ``URL.__bytes__()``
  and the ``encoding`` argument to ``yarl.URL.joinpath()``
  -- by `@mjpieters <https://github.com/sponsors/mjpieters>`__. (`#891 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/891>`__)


Packaging updates and notes for downstreams
-------------------------------------------

- Integrated Cython 3 to enable building *yarl* under Python 3.12 -- by `@mjpieters <https://github.com/sponsors/mjpieters>`__. (`#829 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/829>`__, `#881 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/881>`__)
- Declared modern ``setuptools.build_meta`` as the `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ build
  backend in ``pyproject.toml`` explicitly -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__. (`#886 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/886>`__)
- Converted most of the packaging setup into a declarative ``setup.cfg``
  config -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__. (`#890 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/890>`__)
- The packaging is replaced from an old-fashioned ``setup.py`` to an
  in-tree `PEP 517 <https://peps.python.org/pep-517>`__ build backend -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  Whenever the end-users or downstream packagers need to build ``yarl`` from
  source (a Git checkout or an sdist), they may pass a ``config_settings``
  flag ``--pure-python``. If this flag is not set, a C-extension will be built
  and included into the distribution.

  Here is how this can be done with ``pip``:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -m pip install . --config-settings=--pure-python=false

  This will also work with ``-e | --editable``.

  The same can be achieved via ``pypa/build``:

  .. code-block:: console

      $ python -m build --config-setting=--pure-python=false

  Adding ``-w | --wheel`` can force ``pypa/build`` produce a wheel from source
  directly, as opposed to building an ``sdist`` and then building from it. (`#893 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/893>`__)

  .. attention::

     v1.9.3 was the only version using the ``--pure-python`` setting name.
     Later versions dropped the ``--`` prefix, making it just ``pure-python``.

- Declared Python 3.12 supported officially in the distribution package metadata
  -- by `@edgarrmondragon <https://github.com/sponsors/edgarrmondragon>`__. (`#942 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/942>`__)


Contributor-facing changes

- Started testing *yarl* against Python 3.12 in CI -- by `@mjpieters <https://github.com/sponsors/mjpieters>`__. (`#881 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/881>`__)
- All Python 3.12 jobs are now marked as required to pass in CI
  -- by `@edgarrmondragon <https://github.com/sponsors/edgarrmondragon>`__. (`#942 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/942>`__)
- MyST is now integrated in Sphinx -- by `@webknjaz <https://github.com/sponsors/webknjaz>`__.

  This allows the contributors to author new documents in Markdown
  when they have difficulties with going straight RST. (`#953 <https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl/issues/953>`__)
