trurl is a command line tool for parsing, manipulating, and normalizing URLs, built on libcurl's URL parser. It is designed like 'tr' but for URLs, helping shell script authors avoid error-prone hand-rolled URL handling.
Use cases
- parse urls from the command line
- extract url components like host, path, port, or query in shell scripts
- rewrite or redirect urls in a script
- strip tracking parameters from urls
- normalize and sort query strings
- output url parts as json for scripting
When to choose
- you need reliable, curl-consistent URL parsing in shell scripts
- you want to manipulate URL components without writing fragile regexes
- you need to sanitize or normalize URLs for security
When to avoid
- you need URL parsing inside a program in a language with native URL libraries
- you need a GUI or interactive URL editor
