The primary classes and interfaces of the URL Optimization API are
UrlState,
UrlFormatter, and
QueryBuilder.
A
UrlState instance represents the URL, including any
parameters, for a particular navigation state in Your application. You
typically create a
UrlState by using a
UrlFormatter to parse a URL string. You then inform
the
UrlState of the navigation state that it represents by
passing it a set of query results. When the
UrlState is informed, you can modify it in order to
generate URLs representing links to other states in your application, such as
selecting refinements.
A
UrlFormatter is responsible for parsing URL strings
into
UrlState objects and transforming
UrlState objects back into URLs. The
SeoUrlFormatter is a highly configurable
implementation of
UrlFormatter that parses and generates search
engine-optimized URLs.
A
QueryBuilder marshals
UrlState objects into MDEX Engine queries. The
BasicQueryBuilder is an implementation of
QueryBuilder that creates
ENEQuery objects from a given
UrlState.
For more information about these and other classes, refer to the Assembler API Reference (Javadoc).
