## What it is
rust-url is the standard URL parsing and manipulation library for Rust, implementing the WHATWG URL Standard. It provides the `Url` type with parsing, component access, and serialization, including IDNA and percent-encoding support.

## Use cases
- parse and validate urls in rust
- extract scheme, host, path, and query from a url
- normalize urls according to the whatwg url standard
- handle internationalized domain names (idna)
- build or modify url query parameters safely
- resolve relative urls against a base url

## When to choose
- you need spec-compliant, battle-tested URL handling in Rust
- you are building an HTTP client, web crawler, or anything that consumes URLs
- you need IDNA/internationalized domain support

## When to avoid
- you only need simple string splitting on a trusted, well-formed URL
- you need a full browser-grade URL with history or navigation semantics

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, serialization
- domain: web-development, parsers, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform, wasm
- tags: url-parsing, whatwg-url-standard, idna, percent-encoding, iri
