Package description
The @aws-sdk/url-parser package is part of the AWS SDK for JavaScript (v3). It provides functionality for parsing URLs in a way that is compatible with AWS service endpoints. This can be particularly useful when working with various AWS services, ensuring that URLs are correctly formatted and parsed according to AWS standards.
Parsing URL to a structured object
This feature allows you to parse a URL string into a structured object that includes the protocol, hostname, path, and query parameters. This is useful for extracting components of a URL when working with AWS service endpoints.
const { parseUrl } = require('@aws-sdk/url-parser');
const parsedUrl = parseUrl('https://example.amazonaws.com/path?query=param');
console.log(parsedUrl);
The url-parse package offers similar URL parsing capabilities but is not specifically tailored for AWS. It provides a comprehensive analysis of URL strings with more generic use cases in mind, making it a versatile choice for projects not exclusively tied to AWS services.
This package implements the URL standards as specified by WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group). It's more aligned with web standards and provides robust parsing and serialization of URLs. Compared to @aws-sdk/url-parser, whatwg-url is more suitable for applications that require adherence to these standards without the specific AWS optimizations.
