anchorme

Anchorme.js

Tiny, fast, efficient, feature rich Javascript library to detect links / URLs / Emails in text and convert them to clickable HTML anchor links.

Getting Started, Documentations, Demos and more

What's Included

• Sensitivity: It's Highly sensitive with the least false positives.
  • It validates URLs and Emails against full IANA list
  • Validates port numbers (if present)
  • Validates IP octet numbers (if present)
• Robustness:
  • Skips HTML, so it doesn't break your HTML if it had a URL as an attribute for an element.
  • Links with or without protocols.
  • Works with IPs, FTPs, Emails and files.
  • Can detect parenthesis and quotation marks as part of the URL or as a surrounding to the URL.
• Fast: It's definitely fast! processing H.G. Wells The Time Machine novel with over 1500 URLs inserted at random places takes only 3.5 seconds.
• Light Weight: Although it's a feature rich library with a full IANA list included, it's only 6KB when minified and gzipped.
