All Known Subinterfaces:
RequestPath
```
public interface PathContainer
```
Structured representation of a URI path parsed via parsePath(String) into a sequence of PathContainer.Separator and PathContainer.PathSegment elements.
Each PathContainer.PathSegment exposes its content in decoded form and with path parameters removed. This makes it safe to match one path segment at a time without the risk of decoded reserved characters altering the structure of the path.
