Introducing Java Support in Socket
We're excited to announce that Socket now supports the Java programming language.
The 'url' npm package provides utilities for URL resolution and parsing meant to have the same API as provided by the standard library of Node.js. It allows for the parsing of URLs, resolving URLs to absolute paths, and formatting URLs from constituent parts.
URL Parsing
Parse a URL string and provide access to its different parts, such as protocol, hostname, path, query, and hash.
const url = require('url');
const myURL = new URL('https://example.com/path?name=value#hash');
console.log(myURL.hostname); // 'example.com'
URL Resolution
Resolve a target URL relative to a base URL, effectively providing the absolute path of the target.
const url = require('url');
const resolvedUrl = url.resolve('https://example.com/', '/path');
console.log(resolvedUrl); // 'https://example.com/path'
URL Formatting
Format a URL object into a URL string.
const url = require('url');
const myURL = new URL('https://example.com/path?name=value#hash');
const formattedUrl = url.format(myURL);
console.log(formattedUrl); // 'https://example.com/path?name=value#hash'
