URI getUserInfo() method in Java with Examples

The getUserInfo() function is a part of URI class. The function getUserInfo() returns the UserInfo part of a specified URI.

Function Signature:

public String getUserInfo()

Syntax:

uri.getUserInfo()

Parameter: This function does not require any parameter
Return Type: The function returns String Type

Below programs illustrates the use of getUserInfo() function:

Example 1: Given a URI we will get the UserInfo using the getUserInfo() function.

// Java program to show the
// use of the function getUserInfo()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://Arnab_Kundu@www.geeksforgeeks.org");
            // get the  UserInfo
            String _UserInfo = uri.getUserInfo();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" UserInfo=" + _UserInfo);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URL Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://Arnab_Kundu@www.geeksforgeeks.org
 UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu

Example 2: The value returned by getUserInfo() and getRawUserInfo() is same except that all sequences of escaped octets are decoded. The getRawUserInfo() returns the exact value of the string as provided by the user but the getUserInfo() function decodes the sequence of escaped octets if any.

// Java program to show the
// use of the function getUserInfo()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC@www.geeksforgeeks.org");
            // get the  UserInfo
            String _UserInfo = uri.getUserInfo();

            // get the  Raw UserInfo
            String Raw_UserInfo = uri.getRawUserInfo();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" UserInfo=" + _UserInfo);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" Raw UserInfo=" + Raw_UserInfo);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URL Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC@www.geeksforgeeks.org
 UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu?
 Raw UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC
