Usage

Get the components of a purl:

DATA(purl) = /apmg/cl_purl=>parse( 'pkg:apm/foobar@1.2.3' ).

" purl->components-...
" schema  = 'pkg'
" type    = 'apm'
" name    = 'foobar'
" version = '1.2.3'

Format components into a purl:

DATA(components) = VALUE /apmg/cl_purl=>ty_purl_components(
  schema  = 'pkg'
  type    = 'apm'
  name    = 'foobar'
  version = '1.2.3' ).

DATA(url) = /apmg/cl_purl=>serialize( components ).

" url = 'pkg:apm/foobar@1.2.3' 

Validate a schema:

IF /apmg/cl_purl=>is_valid_schema( 'apm' ) = abap_true.
  " yay!
ENDIF.
