Purl is a small JavaScript utility for parsing URLs and extracting attributes like protocol, host, port, path segments, and querystring parameters. It works both standalone and as a jQuery plugin, but is explicitly no longer maintained.
Use cases
- parse a url into protocol host and path in javascript
- extract querystring parameters from a url
- get the port or host from a url string
- parse the current page url in the browser
- extract url from an anchor element href with jquery
When to choose
- maintaining legacy code that already depends on purl
- you need a tiny standalone url parser with no build tooling
When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is unmaintained
- you want modern WHATWG URL API or actively maintained alternatives like URI.js
