Parse a URI String into Name-Value Collection

Question

I\'ve got the URI like this:

https://google.com.ua/oauth/authorize?client_id=SS&response_type=code&scope=N_FULL&access_type=offline&redirect_         


        

Answer 1

Here is my solution with reduce and Optional:

private Optional> splitKeyValue(String text) {
    String[] v = text.split("=");
    if (v.length == 1 || v.length == 2) {
        String key = URLDecoder.decode(v[0], StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
        String value = v.length == 2 ? URLDecoder.decode(v[1], StandardCharsets.UTF_8) : null;
        return Optional.of(new SimpleImmutableEntry(key, value));
    } else
        return Optional.empty();
}

private HashMap parseQuery(URI uri) {
    HashMap params = Arrays.stream(uri.getQuery()
            .split("&"))
            .map(this::splitKeyValue)
            .filter(Optional::isPresent)
            .map(Optional::get)
            .reduce(
                // initial value
                new HashMap(), 
                // accumulator
                (map, kv) -> {
                     map.put(kv.getKey(), kv.getValue()); 
                     return map;
                }, 
                // combiner
                (a, b) -> {
                     a.putAll(b); 
                     return a;
                });
    return params;
}

• I ignore duplicate parameters (I take the last one).
• I use Optional> to ignore garbage later
• The reduction start with an empty map, then populate it on each SimpleImmutableEntry

In case you ask, reduce requires this weird combiner in the last parameter, which is only used in parallel streams. Its goal is to merge two intermediate results (here HashMap).
