9//! URLs use special characters to indicate the parts of the request.
10//! For example, a `?` question mark marks the end of a path and the start of a query string.
11//! In order for that character to exist inside a path, it needs to be encoded differently.
12//!
13//! Percent encoding replaces reserved characters with the `%` escape character
14//! followed by a byte value as two hexadecimal digits.
15//! For example, an ASCII space is replaced with `%20`.
16//!
17//! When encoding, the set of characters that can (and should, for readability) be left alone
18//! depends on the context.
19//! The `?` question mark mentioned above is not a separator when used literally
20//! inside of a query string, and therefore does not need to be encoded.
21//! The [`AsciiSet`] parameter of [`percent_encode`] and [`utf8_percent_encode`]
22//! lets callers configure this.
23//!
24//! This crate deliberately does not provide many different sets.
25//! Users should consider in what context the encoded string will be used,
26//! read relevant specifications, and define their own set.
27//! This is done by using the `add` method of an existing set.
28//!
29//! # Examples
30//!
31//! ```
32//! use percent_encoding::{utf8_percent_encode, AsciiSet, CONTROLS};
33//!
34//! /// https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#fragment-percent-encode-set
35//! const FRAGMENT: &AsciiSet = &CONTROLS.add(b' ').add(b'"').add(b'<').add(b'>').add(b'`');
36//!
37//! assert_eq!(utf8_percent_encode("foo <bar>", FRAGMENT).to_string(), "foo%20%3Cbar%3E");
38//! ```
