Clojure building of URL from constituent parts

Question

In Python I would do the following:

>>> q = urllib.urlencode({\"q\": \"clojure url\"})
>>> q
\'q=clojure+url\'

>>> url = \"http://sta         


        

Answer 1

This is the exact REPL equivalent of your python session, using clj-http.

user=> (require ['clj-http.client :as 'client])
nil
user=> (str "http://stackoverflow.com/search?"
user=*      (client/generate-query-string {"q" "clojure url"}))
"http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=clojure+url"

but clj-http makes it even easier:

user=> (client/get "http://stackoverflow.com/search?"
user=*             {:query-params {"q" "clojure url"}})
... ...

assuming that you want to perform a GET request, that is.
