title: Java- How to split and ignore a String having this special character
body: <p>This might be simple thing. But I am trying out for the best solution. Can someone help me with this in Java or Java 8 ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question</strong><br>
  I have a String URL <code>/api/data/stiffers:stiffer-state/stiffer=monkey-king 0/1?fields=(status;statistics;speed)</code>.  I want to split this by character '/' but <code>stiffer=monkey-king 0/1</code> should not be splitted. Because it also has a character '/'.</p>
  
  <p>Can some one help me with the code ?</p>
  
  <p>To be more clear, the output should be</p>
  
  <p>api<br>
  data<br>
  stiffers:stiffer-state<br>
  stiffer=monkey-king 0/1?fields=(status;statistics;speed)</p>
