Hi all,
Finally got round at this javascript implementation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-04
(minus the partial syntax and some more testing)
Anyway, it is open at:
https://github.com/marc-portier/uri-templates
It wraps inside JQuery and comes with tests up in QUnit.
(JQuery dependency currently limited to the handy $.extend and $.isFunction)
Must say getting my head around things asked more time then I initially
expected: clarity and elegance of the syntax and explanation did hide
quite some more special cases then I would of have thought of.
One case I still haven't ironed out, to the extend I'm liking my
solution more :) is this:
> tested pattern: {;list}
> Expected: ";val1,val2,val3"
> Result: ";list=val1,val2,val3"
>
> tested pattern: {;keys}
> Expected: ";key1,val1,key2,val2"
> Result: ";keys=key1,val1,key2,val2"
>
which in my mind (and implementation) follows more closely the line of
thinking in:
>
> tested pattern: {?list}
> Expected: "?list=val1,val2,val3"
>
> tested pattern: {?keys}
> Expected: "?keys=key1,val1,key2,val2"
>
the consistency I see is this: both ; and ? operators deal with named
parameters, in unexploded form the values are wrapped up in one string,
but still expect value.
best regards,

implmentation from James' blog way back, that is somewhat maintained
over here: )
