<p>The <code>node:url</code> module provides utilities for URL resolution and parsing. It can
be accessed using:</p>

<p>A URL string is a structured string containing multiple meaningful components.
When parsed, a URL object is returned containing properties for each of these
components.</p>
<p>The <code>node:url</code> module provides two APIs for working with URLs: a legacy API that
is Node.js specific, and a newer API that implements the same
<a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> used by web browsers.</p>
<p>A comparison between the WHATWG and legacy APIs is provided below. Above the URL
<code>'https://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'</code>, properties
of an object returned by the legacy <code>url.parse()</code> are shown. Below it are
properties of a WHATWG <code>URL</code> object.</p>
<p>WHATWG URL's <code>origin</code> property includes <code>protocol</code> and <code>host</code>, but not
<code>username</code> or <code>password</code>.</p>

Standard. <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#example-url-parsing">Examples of parsed URLs</a> may be found in the Standard itself.
The <code>URL</code> class is also available on the global object.</p>
<p>In accordance with browser conventions, all properties of <code>URL</code> objects
are implemented as getters and setters on the class prototype, rather than as
data properties on the object itself. Thus, unlike <a href="#legacy-urlobject">legacy <code>urlObject</code></a>s,
using 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
return <code>true</code>.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> considers a handful of URL protocol schemes to be
<em>special</em> in terms of how they are parsed and serialized. When a URL is
parsed using one of these special protocols, the <code>url.protocol</code> property
may be changed to another special protocol but cannot be changed to a
non-special protocol, and vice versa.</p>
<p>For instance, changing from <code>http</code> to <code>https</code> works:</p>
<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>);

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

<span class="hljs-comment">// http://example.org/</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>Likewise, changing from a non-special protocol to a special protocol is also
not permitted:</p>
<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">'fish://example.org'</span>);

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

string serializations of the URL. These are not, however, customizable in
any way. The <code>url.format(URL[, options])</code> method allows for basic customization
of the output.</p>

<p></p><div class="api_stability api_stability_3"><a href="documentation.html#stability-index">Stability: 3</a> - Legacy: Use the WHATWG URL API instead.</div><p></p>
<p>The legacy <code>urlObject</code> (<code>require('node:url').Url</code> or
<code>import { Url } from 'node:url'</code>) is
created and returned by the <code>url.parse()</code> function.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.auth</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectauth" id="urlobjectauth">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_auth"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>auth</code> property is the username and password portion of the URL, also
referred to as <em>userinfo</em>. This string subset follows the <code>protocol</code> and
double slashes (if present) and precedes the <code>host</code> component, delimited by <code>@</code>.
The string is either the username, or it is the username and password separated
by <code>:</code>.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'user:pass'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.hash</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjecthash" id="urlobjecthash">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_hash"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>hash</code> property is the fragment identifier portion of the URL including the
leading <code>#</code> character.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'#hash'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.host</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjecthost" id="urlobjecthost">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_host"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>host</code> property is the full lower-cased host portion of the URL, including
the <code>port</code> if specified.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'sub.example.com:8080'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.hostname</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjecthostname" id="urlobjecthostname">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_hostname"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>hostname</code> property is the lower-cased host name portion of the <code>host</code>
component <em>without</em> the <code>port</code> included.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'sub.example.com'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.href</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjecthref" id="urlobjecthref">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_href"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>href</code> property is the full URL string that was parsed with both the
<code>protocol</code> and <code>host</code> components converted to lower-case.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'http://user:pass@sub.example.com:8080/p/a/t/h?query=string#hash'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.path</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectpath" id="urlobjectpath">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_path"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>path</code> property is a concatenation of the <code>pathname</code> and <code>search</code>
components.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'/p/a/t/h?query=string'</code>.</p>
<p>No decoding of the <code>path</code> is performed.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.pathname</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectpathname" id="urlobjectpathname">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_pathname"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>pathname</code> property consists of the entire path section of the URL. This
is everything following the <code>host</code> (including the <code>port</code>) and before the start
of the <code>query</code> or <code>hash</code> components, delimited by either the ASCII question
mark (<code>?</code>) or hash (<code>#</code>) characters.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'/p/a/t/h'</code>.</p>
<p>No decoding of the path string is performed.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.port</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectport" id="urlobjectport">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_port"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>port</code> property is the numeric port portion of the <code>host</code> component.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'8080'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.protocol</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectprotocol" id="urlobjectprotocol">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_protocol"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>protocol</code> property identifies the URL's lower-cased protocol scheme.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'http:'</code>.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.query</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectquery" id="urlobjectquery">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_query"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>query</code> property is either the query string without the leading ASCII
question mark (<code>?</code>), or an object returned by the <a href="querystring.html"><code>querystring</code></a> module's
<code>parse()</code> method. Whether the <code>query</code> property is a string or object is
determined by the <code>parseQueryString</code> argument passed to <code>url.parse()</code>.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'query=string'</code> or <code>{'query': 'string'}</code>.</p>
<p>If returned as a string, no decoding of the query string is performed. If
returned as an object, both keys and values are decoded.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.search</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectsearch" id="urlobjectsearch">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_search"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>search</code> property consists of the entire "query string" portion of the
URL, including the leading ASCII question mark (<code>?</code>) character.</p>
<p>For example: <code>'?query=string'</code>.</p>
<p>No decoding of the query string is performed.</p>
<h5><code>urlObject.slashes</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlobjectslashes" id="urlobjectslashes">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_urlobject_slashes"></a></h5>
<p>The <code>slashes</code> property is a <code>boolean</code> with a value of <code>true</code> if two ASCII
forward-slash characters (<code>/</code>) are required following the colon in the
<code>protocol</code>.</p>
<h4><code>url.format(urlObject)</code><span><a class="mark" href="#urlformaturlobject" id="urlformaturlobject">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_url_format_urlobject"></a></h4>

<p>The formatting process operates as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new empty string <code>result</code> is created.</li>
<li>If <code>urlObject.protocol</code> is a string, it is appended as-is to <code>result</code>.</li>
<li>Otherwise, if <code>urlObject.protocol</code> is not <code>undefined</code> and is not a string, an

<li>For all string values of <code>urlObject.protocol</code> that <em>do not end</em> with an ASCII
colon (<code>:</code>) character, the literal string <code>:</code> will be appended to <code>result</code>.</li>
<li>If either of the following conditions is true, then the literal string <code>//</code>

</section><section><h3>Percent-encoding in URLs<span><a class="mark" href="#percent-encoding-in-urls" id="percent-encoding-in-urls">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_percent_encoding_in_urls"></a></h3>
<p>URLs are permitted to only contain a certain range of characters. Any character
falling outside of that range must be encoded. How such characters are encoded,
and which characters to encode depends entirely on where the character is
located within the structure of the URL.</p>
<h4>Legacy API<span><a class="mark" href="#legacy-api" id="legacy-api">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_legacy_api"></a></h4>
<p>Within the Legacy API, spaces (<code>' '</code>) and the following characters will be
automatically escaped in the properties of URL objects:</p>
<pre><code class="language-text">&#x3C; > " ` \r \n \t { } | \ ^ '</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>For example, the ASCII space character (<code>' '</code>) is encoded as <code>%20</code>. The ASCII
forward slash (<code>/</code>) character is encoded as <code>%3C</code>.</p>
<h4>WHATWG API<span><a class="mark" href="#whatwg-api" id="whatwg-api">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="url_whatwg_api"></a></h4>
<p>The <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG URL Standard</a> uses a more selective and fine grained approach to
selecting encoded characters than that used by the Legacy API.</p>
<p>The WHATWG algorithm defines four "percent-encode sets" that describe ranges
of characters that must be percent-encoded:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em> includes code points in range U+0000 to
U+001F (inclusive) and all code points greater than U+007E (~).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <em>fragment percent-encode set</em> includes the <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em>
and code points U+0020 SPACE, U+0022 ("), U+003C (&#x3C;), U+003E (>),
and U+0060 (`).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <em>path percent-encode set</em> includes the <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em>
and code points U+0020 SPACE, U+0022 ("), U+0023 (#), U+003C (&#x3C;), U+003E (>),
U+003F (?), U+0060 (`), U+007B ({), and U+007D (}).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The <em>userinfo encode set</em> includes the <em>path percent-encode set</em> and code
points U+002F (/), U+003A (:), U+003B (;), U+003D (=), U+0040 (@),
U+005B ([) to U+005E(^), and U+007C (|).</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The <em>userinfo percent-encode set</em> is used exclusively for username and
passwords encoded within the URL. The <em>path percent-encode set</em> is used for the
path of most URLs. The <em>fragment percent-encode set</em> is used for URL fragments.
The <em>C0 control percent-encode set</em> is used for host and path under certain
specific conditions, in addition to all other cases.</p>
<p>When non-ASCII characters appear within a host name, the host name is encoded
using 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
<em>both</em> Punycode encoded and percent-encoded characters:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> myURL = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> <span class="hljs-title function_">URL</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'https://%CF%80.example.com/foo'</span>);
