public abstract class UriBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
Path.value() for an
 explanation of URI templates.
 
 Builder methods perform contextual encoding of characters not permitted in the corresponding URI component following
 the rules of the
 application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type
 for query parameters and RFC 3986 for all other components. Note that
 only characters not permitted in a particular component are subject to encoding so, e.g., a path supplied to one of
 the path methods may contain matrix parameters or multiple path segments since the separators are legal
 characters and will not be encoded. Percent encoded values are also recognized where allowed and will not be double
 encoded.
 
URI templates are allowed in most components of a URI but their value is restricted to a particular component. E.g.
UriBuilder.fromPath("{arg1}").build("foo#bar"); would result in encoding of the
 '#' such that the resulting URI is "foo%23bar". To create a URI "foo#bar" use
 UriBuilder.fromPath("{arg1}").fragment("{arg2}").build("foo", "bar") instead.
 URI template names and delimiters are never encoded but their values are encoded when a URI is built. Template
 parameter regular expressions are ignored when building a URI, i.e. no validation is performed.URI,
