node-hash-uri

node-hash-uri is a Node.js and io.js module to produce and parse URIs with the hash: scheme. Hash URIs are useful for identifying resources by their content (content addressing). For more information about hash URIs in general, please see the specification here.

Usage:

var hashuri = require("hash-uri");

var obj = hashuri.parse("hash://sha256/abcd?type=text/html#anchor");
console.log(obj);
/* {
	algo: "sha256",
	hash: "abcd",
	query: "?type=text/html",
	fragment: "#anchor"
	data: new Buffer("abcd", "hex"),
	encoding: "hex",
} */

var uri = hashuri.format(obj);
console.log(uri);
// Original URI is printed

Parsed fields and format parameters:

• algo (e.g. "sha256")
• hash (string)
• query (can be null)
• fragment (can be null)
• data (buffer)
• encoding ("hex" only, for now)

When formatting, hash takes precedence over data.
