245<p>The <code>url</code> module provides utilities for URL resolution and parsing. It can be
246accessed using:</p>
247<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> url = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'url'</span>);</code></pre>
248<section><h3>URL strings and URL objects<span><a class="mark" href="#url_url_strings_and_url_objects" id="url_url_strings_and_url_objects">#</a></span></h3>
249<p>A URL string is a structured string containing multiple meaningful components.
250When parsed, a URL object is returned containing properties for each of these
251components.</p>
252<p>The <code>url</code> module provides two APIs for working with URLs: a legacy API that is
253Node.js specific, and a newer API that implements the same
254<a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> used by web browsers.</p>
255<p>A comparison between the WHATWG and Legacy APIs is provided below. Above the URL
256<code>'https://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'</code>, properties
257of an object returned by the legacy <code>url.parse()</code> are shown. Below it are
258properties of a WHATWG <code>URL</code> object.</p>
259<p>WHATWG URL's <code>origin</code> property includes <code>protocol</code> and <code>host</code>, but not
260<code>username</code> or <code>password</code>.</p>

313Standard. <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#example-url-parsing">Examples of parsed URLs</a> may be found in the Standard itself.
314The <code>URL</code> class is also available on the global object.</p>
315<p>In accordance with browser conventions, all properties of <code>URL</code> objects
316are implemented as getters and setters on the class prototype, rather than as
317data properties on the object itself. Thus, unlike <a href="#url_legacy_urlobject">legacy <code>urlObject</code></a>s,
318using the <code>delete</code> keyword on any properties of <code>URL</code> objects (e.g. <code>delete myURL.protocol</code>, <code>delete myURL.pathname</code>, etc) has no effect but will still
319return <code>true</code>.</p>

595<p>The <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> considers a handful of URL protocol schemes to be
596<em>special</em> in terms of how they are parsed and serialized. When a URL is
597parsed using one of these special protocols, the <code>url.protocol</code> property
598may be changed to another special protocol but cannot be changed to a
599non-special protocol, and vice versa.</p>
600<p>For instance, changing from <code>http</code> to <code>https</code> works:</p>
601<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> u = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">URL</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'http://example.org'</span>);

604<span class="hljs-comment">// https://example.org</span></code></pre>
605<p>However, changing from <code>http</code> to a hypothetical <code>fish</code> protocol does not
606because the new protocol is not special.</p>

709<p>The <code>URLSearchParams</code> API provides read and write access to the query of a
710<code>URL</code>. The <code>URLSearchParams</code> class can also be used standalone with one of the
711four following constructors.
712The <code>URLSearchParams</code> class is also available on the global object.</p>
713<p>The WHATWG <code>URLSearchParams</code> interface and the <a href="querystring.html"><code>querystring</code></a> module have
714similar purpose, but the purpose of the <a href="querystring.html"><code>querystring</code></a> module is more
715general, as it allows the customization of delimiter characters (<code>&#x26;</code> and <code>=</code>).
716On the other hand, this API is designed purely for URL query strings.</p>

1181<p>The legacy <code>urlObject</code> (<code>require('url').Url</code>) is created and returned by the
1182<code>url.parse()</code> function.</p>
1183<h5><code>urlObject.auth</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_auth" id="url_urlobject_auth">#</a></span></h5>
1184<p>The <code>auth</code> property is the username and password portion of the URL, also
1185referred to as <em>userinfo</em>. This string subset follows the <code>protocol</code> and
1186double slashes (if present) and precedes the <code>host</code> component, delimited by <code>@</code>.
1187The string is either the username, or it is the username and password separated
1188by <code>:</code>.</p>
1189<p>For example: <code>'user:pass'</code>.</p>
1190<h5><code>urlObject.hash</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_hash" id="url_urlobject_hash">#</a></span></h5>
1191<p>The <code>hash</code> property is the fragment identifier portion of the URL including the
1192leading <code>#</code> character.</p>
1193<p>For example: <code>'#hash'</code>.</p>
1194<h5><code>urlObject.host</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_host" id="url_urlobject_host">#</a></span></h5>
1195<p>The <code>host</code> property is the full lower-cased host portion of the URL, including
1196the <code>port</code> if specified.</p>
1197<p>For example: <code>'sub.example.com:8080'</code>.</p>
1198<h5><code>urlObject.hostname</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_hostname" id="url_urlobject_hostname">#</a></span></h5>
1199<p>The <code>hostname</code> property is the lower-cased host name portion of the <code>host</code>
1200component <em>without</em> the <code>port</code> included.</p>
1201<p>For example: <code>'sub.example.com'</code>.</p>
1202<h5><code>urlObject.href</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_href" id="url_urlobject_href">#</a></span></h5>
1203<p>The <code>href</code> property is the full URL string that was parsed with both the
1204<code>protocol</code> and <code>host</code> components converted to lower-case.</p>
1205<p>For example: <code>'http://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'</code>.</p>
1206<h5><code>urlObject.path</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_path" id="url_urlobject_path">#</a></span></h5>
1207<p>The <code>path</code> property is a concatenation of the <code>pathname</code> and <code>search</code>
1208components.</p>
1209<p>For example: <code>'/p/a/t/h?query=string'</code>.</p>
1210<p>No decoding of the <code>path</code> is performed.</p>
1211<h5><code>urlObject.pathname</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_pathname" id="url_urlobject_pathname">#</a></span></h5>
1212<p>The <code>pathname</code> property consists of the entire path section of the URL. This
1213is everything following the <code>host</code> (including the <code>port</code>) and before the start
1214of the <code>query</code> or <code>hash</code> components, delimited by either the ASCII question
1215mark (<code>?</code>) or hash (<code>#</code>) characters.</p>
1216<p>For example: <code>'/p/a/t/h'</code>.</p>
1217<p>No decoding of the path string is performed.</p>
1218<h5><code>urlObject.port</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_port" id="url_urlobject_port">#</a></span></h5>
1219<p>The <code>port</code> property is the numeric port portion of the <code>host</code> component.</p>
1220<p>For example: <code>'8080'</code>.</p>
1221<h5><code>urlObject.protocol</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_protocol" id="url_urlobject_protocol">#</a></span></h5>
1222<p>The <code>protocol</code> property identifies the URL's lower-cased protocol scheme.</p>
1223<p>For example: <code>'http:'</code>.</p>
1224<h5><code>urlObject.query</code><span><a class="mark" href="#url_urlobject_query" id="url_urlobject_query">#</a></span></h5>
1225<p>The <code>query</code> property is either the query string without the leading ASCII
1226question mark (<code>?</code>), or an object returned by the <a href="querystring.html"><code>querystring</code></a> module's
1227<code>parse()</code> method. Whether the <code>query</code> property is a string or object is
1228determined by the <code>parseQueryString</code> argument passed to <code>url.parse()</code>.</p>
1229<p>For example: <code>'query=string'</code> or <code>{'query': 'string'}</code>.</p>

1435</section><section><h3>Percent-encoding in URLs<span><a class="mark" href="#url_percent_encoding_in_urls" id="url_percent_encoding_in_urls">#</a></span></h3>
1436<p>URLs are permitted to only contain a certain range of characters. Any character
1437falling outside of that range must be encoded. How such characters are encoded,
1438and which characters to encode depends entirely on where the character is
1439located within the structure of the URL.</p>
1440<h4>Legacy API<span><a class="mark" href="#url_legacy_api" id="url_legacy_api">#</a></span></h4>
1441<p>Within the Legacy API, spaces (<code>' '</code>) and the following characters will be
1442automatically escaped in the properties of URL objects:</p>
1443<pre><code class="language-text">&#x3C; > " ` \r \n \t { } | \ ^ '</code></pre>
1444<p>For example, the ASCII space character (<code>' '</code>) is encoded as <code>%20</code>. The ASCII
1445forward slash (<code>/</code>) character is encoded as <code>%3C</code>.</p>
1446<h4>WHATWG API<span><a class="mark" href="#url_whatwg_api" id="url_whatwg_api">#</a></span></h4>
1447<p>The <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> uses a more selective and fine grained approach to
1448selecting encoded characters than that used by the Legacy API.</p>
1449<p>The WHATWG algorithm defines four "percent-encode sets" that describe ranges
1450of characters that must be percent-encoded:</p>
1451<ul>
1452<li>
1453<p>The <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em> includes code points in range U+0000 to
1454U+001F (inclusive) and all code points greater than U+007E.</p>
1455</li>
1456<li>
1457<p>The <em>fragment percent-encode set</em> includes the <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em>
1458and code points U+0020, U+0022, U+003C, U+003E, and U+0060.</p>
1459</li>
1460<li>
1461<p>The <em>path percent-encode set</em> includes the <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em>
1462and code points U+0020, U+0022, U+0023, U+003C, U+003E, U+003F, U+0060,
1463U+007B, and U+007D.</p>
1464</li>
1465<li>
1466<p>The <em>userinfo encode set</em> includes the <em>path percent-encode set</em> and code
1467points U+002F, U+003A, U+003B, U+003D, U+0040, U+005B, U+005C, U+005D,
1468U+005E, and U+007C.</p>
1469</li>
1470</ul>
1471<p>The <em>userinfo percent-encode set</em> is used exclusively for username and
1472passwords encoded within the URL. The <em>path percent-encode set</em> is used for the
1473path of most URLs. The <em>fragment percent-encode set</em> is used for URL fragments.
1474The <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em> is used for host and path under certain
1475specific conditions, in addition to all other cases.</p>
1476<p>When non-ASCII characters appear within a host name, the host name is encoded
1477using the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5891#section-4.4">Punycode</a> algorithm. Note, however, that a host name <em>may</em> contain
1478<em>both</em> Punycode encoded and percent-encoded characters:</p>
