/**
* URI template-aware utility class for building URIs from their components. See {@link jakarta.ws.rs.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 {@code 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.
