<h3 id="accessors-segment">segment()</h3>
<p>.segment() allows convenient access to directory levels / URN segments within the path. See <a href="#accessors-segmentCoded">.segmentCoded()</a> for an interface that transparently encodes and decodes path segments.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello.html");
// get segments
uri.segment(); // returns array ["foo", "hello.html"]
// set segments
uri.segment(["foo", "bar", "foobar.html"]); // -> http://example.org/foo/bar/foobar.html

// remove specific level
uri.segment(0, ""); // -> http://example.org/bar/foobar.html
// append level
uri.segment("appendthis"); // -> http://example.org/bar/foobar.html/appendthis</pre>
<h3 id="accessors-segmentCoded">segmentCoded()</h3>
<p>.segmentCoded() works the same way <a href="#accessors-segment">.segment()</a> does, with the difference of transparently encoding and decoding values.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello%20world.html");
// get segments
uri.segmentCoded(); // returns array ["foo", "hello world.html"]
// set segments
uri.segmentCoded(["foo", "bar", "foo bar.html"]); // -> http://example.org/foo/bar/foo%20bar.html
// get specific level
uri.segmentCoded(0); // returns "foo"
uri.segmentCoded(1); // returns "bar"
uri.segmentCoded(-1); // returns "foo bar.html"
// set specific level
uri.segmentCoded(0, "bar bam"); // -> http://example.org/bar%20bam/bar/foobar.html
// remove specific level
uri.segmentCoded(0, ""); // -> http://example.org/bar/foobar.html
// append level
uri.segmentCoded("append this"); // -> http://example.org/bar/foobar.html/append%20this</pre>
<h3 id="accessors-search">search(), query()</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello.html?foo=bar&amp;bar=baz");
// get search
uri.search(); // returns string "?foo=bar&amp;bar=baz" (leading ?)
// get query
uri.query(); // returns string "foo=bar&amp;bar=baz" (no leading ?)
// .query() and .search() behave the same for the following:
// set search
uri.search("?foo=bar&amp;bar=baz"); // returns the URI instance for chaining
uri.search("foo=bar&amp;bar=baz"); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html?foo=bar&amp;bar=baz"
// remove query
uri.search(""); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html"
// get data map:
uri.search(true); // returns { foo: "bar", hello : ["world", "mars"] }
// set data map:
uri.search({ foo: "bar", hello : ["world", "mars"] });
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html?foo=bar&amp;hello=world&amp;hello=mars"
// overwrite data through callback
uri.search(function(data) {
return { hello : "world" };
});
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html?hello=world"
// augment data through callback
uri.search(function(data) {
data.foo = "bar";
});
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html?hello=world&amp;foo=bar"
// CAUTION: beware of arrays, the following are not quite the same
// If you're dealing with PHP, you probably want the latter…
uri.search("?foo=bar&amp;bar=baz");
uri.search("?foo=bar[]&amp;bar[]=baz");</pre>
<p>Note that names and values passed in an object are encoded automatically.
The object, resulting from parsing the query string, contains decoded values</p>
<p>Hint: If you're using jQuery, have a look at their <a href="http://api.jquery.com/serialize/">.serialize()</a> function.</p>
<h3 id="accessors-hash">hash(), fragment()</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello.html#world");
// get hash
uri.hash(); // returns string "#world" (leading #)
// get fragment
uri.fragment(); // returns string "world" (no leading #)
// remove fragment
uri.fragment(""); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.html"
// .hash() and .fragment() behave the same for the following:
// set hash
uri.hash("#mars"); // returns the URI instance for chaining
uri.hash("mars"); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.xml#mars"</pre>
<h3 id="accessors-resource">resource()</h3>
<p>Resource is comprised of path, query and fragment</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello.html?query=string#hash");
// get resource
uri.resource(); // returns string "/foo/hello.html?query=string#hash"
// set resource
uri.resource("/mars.txt?query=foo#other"); // returns the URI instance for chaining</pre>
<p class="note"><code>.resource()</code> will reset any of path, query and fragment if they're not specified.</p>
<h3 id="is">is()</h3>
<p>.is() tells what a URL is. It responds with a boolean and can be asked the following questions:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>relative</code></dt><dd><code>true</code> if URL doesn't have a hostname</dd>
<dt><code>absolute</code></dt><dd><code>true</code> if URL has a hostname</dd>

<h2 id="fragment-abuse">Working with the Fragment (Hash)</h2>
<p>
There are virtually no limits to what you might do with fragments (hash).
Every system has their own bag of tricks.
As a result URI.js cannot offer any of the following tools right out of the box.
The most common <em>abuse of fragments</em> are storing URLs or query string like data.
</p>
<p>
Usually a prefix is used to identify data with special meaning. This prefix can be pretty much what you want.
For URIs it's usually <code>!</code> and for query-like data it often is <code>?</code>.
But they don't have to, which is why you can define a global default: <code>URI.fragmentPrefix = "$";</code>
</p>
