URLParser

URL parser intended to parse a variety of URL like things. Basically, anything that would show up in an anchor. Things like http/https links, mailto, tel, about, various schemas. I also have a good number of fuzzers, validators, etc in this project, but the primary function of this library is that I can shove a URL-like into it and get back uniform parsed data.

Important Note: The data types and structures are likely to change in the future as my needs expand. This library is intended for my purposes, which will likely change depending on what I need/want.

// create urlparser instance and parse a url.  The result is a type union
// which structurally will vary based on the result type.
const urlparser = new URLParser();
const parse_result = urlparser.parse(url);

// just switch and do whatever you need here
switch (parse_result?.type) {
  /* handle types here */
  default:
    break;
}
