Here, `pchar`, `unreserved`, `pct-encoded` and `sub-delims` definitions are taken from [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). The `path-template` is directly derived from [RFC 3986, section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.3).

Each template expression MUST NOT appear more than once in a single path template.

See also [Appendix C: Using RFC6570-Based Serialization](#appendix-c-using-rfc6570-based-serialization) for additional guidance.

Here, `literals`, `pct-encoded`, `ucschar` and `iprivate` definitions are taken from [RFC 6570](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6570), incorporating the corrections specified in [Errata 6937](https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6937) for `literals`.

Each server variable MUST NOT appear more than once in the URL template.
