standards - @ sign as url parameter separator? -


while browsing new google maps saw using @ sign instead of ? seperate url-path query parameters, like:

https://www.google.com/maps/@38.1158476,-96.2044115,6z

the coordinates after @ change navigating around map, without browser refresh. bookmarking works fine this.

wikipedia not mention this, rfc3986 shows @ sign possibility username/password authentication.

is standardised feature or proprietary browser functionality? feature safe use, , how use correctly?

@38.1158476,-96.2044115,6z not query component. it’s still part of path component.

the @ character can used in path, without percent-encoding it.

so uri standard perspective, there nothing special uri. there have been used other (or no) character instead.

i assume google uses @ here because users might read "at", suitable "at <location>".
