parseUri 👁 GitHub
// URL parser

parseUri is a mighty but tiny (1KB) JavaScript URI/URN/URL parser that splits any URI into its parts (all of which are optional). Its combination of accuracy, comprehensiveness, and brevity is unrivaled. This demo page allows you to test its results and compare with JavaScript’s built-in URL constructor and URI.js (a much larger library).

Modes: parseUri has two parsing modes: default and friendly. Usually they produce the same result, but the default mode follows official URI standards and friendly mode allows handling human-friendly URLs like 'example.com/file.html' as expected. More specifically, friendly mode doesn’t require <protocol>:, :, //, or other repeating slashes to signal the start of an authority, but this also precludes it from properly handling relative paths (no leading / or \) such as 'dir/file.html'.
