A small-footprint URL parser library for JavaScript that works in both Node.js and browser environments, exposing both Node's url-style API and the WHATWG URL interface. It also bundles a querystring module for parsing and stringifying query strings.

Use cases

• parse urls into components in node and the browser
• parse relative urls against a base url
• extract query string parameters from a url
• stringify query objects into query strings
• parse urls in web workers without DOM access
• keep bundle size small when parsing urls client-side

When to choose

• you need a tiny isomorphic URL parser for legacy environments lacking the WHATWG URL API
• you need Node-style url.parse output in the browser
• you need bundled querystring parsing/stringifying

When to avoid

• you target modern Node.js or browsers where the native URL interface is available (the README recommends using it instead)
• you need maximum security and accuracy in URL parsing
• you need active development or new features
