Introduction

zend-uri aids in manipulating and validating Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). zend-uri exists primarily to assist other components, such as zend-http, but is also useful as a standalone utility.

URIs always begin with a scheme, followed by a colon. The construction of the many different schemes varies significantly. The zend-uri component provides the Zend\Uri\UriFactory that returns an instance of the appropriate class implementing Zend\Uri\UriInterface for the given scheme (assuming the factory can locate one).
