URI getRawUserInfo() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
The getRawUserInfo() function is a part of URI class. The function getRawUserInfo() returns the raw UserInfo part of a specified URI.This function returns the exact value of user info without decoding the sequence of escaped octets if any. Function Signature: 
public String getRawUserInfo()
Syntax: 
uri.getRawUserInfo()
Parameter: This function does not require any parameter Return Type: The function returns String Type Below programs illustrates the use of getUserInfo() function: Example 1: Given a URI we will get the UserInfo using the getRawUserInfo() function. Java 
// Java program to show the
// use of the function getRawUserInfo()

import java.net.*;
class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://Arnab_Kundu@www.geeksforgeeks.org/");

            // get the  Raw UserInfo
            String Raw_UserInfo = uri.getRawUserInfo();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" Raw UserInfo="
                               + Raw_UserInfo);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URL Exception ="
                               + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
Output: 
URI = https://Arnab_Kundu@www.geeksforgeeks.org/
 Raw UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu
Example 2: The value returned by getUserInfo() and getRawUserInfo() is same except that all sequences of escaped octets are decoded. The getRawUserInfo() returns the exact value of the string as provided by the user but the getUserInfo() function decodes the sequence of escaped octets if any. Java 
// Java program to show the
// use of the function getRawUserInfo()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC@www.geeksforgeeks.org/");

            // get the  UserInfo
            String _UserInfo = uri.getUserInfo();

            // get the  Raw UserInfo
            String Raw_UserInfo = uri.getRawUserInfo();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" UserInfo=" + _UserInfo);

            // display the  UserInfo
            System.out.println(" Raw UserInfo=" + Raw_UserInfo);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URL Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
Output: 
URI = https://Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC@www.geeksforgeeks.org/
 UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu?
 Raw UserInfo=Arnab_Kundu%E2%82%AC
