# URI.js URI.js is an [RFC 3986](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt) compliant, scheme extendable URI parsing/validating/resolving library for all JavaScript environments (browsers, Node.js, etc). It is also compliant with the IRI ([RFC 3987](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt)), IDNA ([RFC 5890](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5890.txt)), IPv6 Address ([RFC 5952](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5952.txt)), IPv6 Zone Identifier ([RFC 6874](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6874.txt)) specifications. URI.js has an extensive test suite, and works in all (Node.js, web) environments. It weighs in at 6.4kb (gzipped, 17kb deflated). ## API ### Parsing URI.parse("uri://user:pass@example.com:123/one/two.three?q1=a1&q2=a2#body"); //returns: //{ // scheme : "uri", // userinfo : "user:pass", // host : "example.com", // port : 123, // path : "/one/two.three", // query : "q1=a1&q2=a2", // fragment : "body" //} ### Serializing URI.serialize({scheme : "http", host : "example.com", fragment : "footer"}) === "http://example.com/#footer" ### Resolving URI.resolve("uri://a/b/c/d?q", "../../g") === "uri://a/g" ### Normalizing URI.normalize("HTTP://ABC.com:80/%7Esmith/home.html") === "http://abc.com/~smith/home.html" ### Comparison URI.equal("example://a/b/c/%7Bfoo%7D", "eXAMPLE://a/./b/../b/%63/%7bfoo%7d") === true ### IP Support //IPv4 normalization URI.normalize("//192.068.001.000") === "//192.68.1.0" //IPv6 normalization URI.normalize("//[2001:0:0DB8::0:0001]") === "//[2001:0:db8::1]" //IPv6 zone identifier support URI.parse("//[2001:db8::7%25en1]"); //returns: //{ // host : "2001:db8::7%en1" //} ### IRI Support //convert IRI to URI URI.serialize(URI.parse("http://examplé.org/rosé")) === "http://xn--exampl-gva.org/ros%C3%A9" //convert URI to IRI URI.serialize(URI.parse("http://xn--exampl-gva.org/ros%C3%A9"), {iri:true}) === "http://examplé.org/rosé" ### Options All of the above functions can accept an additional options argument that is an object that can contain one or more of the following properties: * `scheme` (string) Indicates the scheme that the URI should be treated as, overriding the URI's normal scheme parsing behavior. * `reference` (string) If set to `"suffix"`, it indicates that the URI is in the suffix format, and the validator will use the option's `scheme` property to determine the URI's scheme. * `tolerant` (boolean, false) If set to `true`, the parser will relax URI resolving rules. * `absolutePath` (boolean, false) If set to `true`, the serializer will not resolve a relative `path` component. * `iri` (boolean, false) If set to `true`, the serializer will unescape non-ASCII characters as per [RFC 3987](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt). * `unicodeSupport` (boolean, false) If set to `true`, the parser will unescape non-ASCII characters in the parsed output as per [RFC 3987](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt). * `domainHost` (boolean, false) If set to `true`, the library will treat the `host` component as a domain name, and convert IDNs (International Domain Names) as per [RFC 5891](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5891.txt). ## Scheme Extendable URI.js supports inserting custom [scheme](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme) dependent processing rules. Currently, URI.js has built in support for the following schemes: * http \[[RFC 2616](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt)\] * https \[[RFC 2818](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2818.txt)\] * mailto \[[RFC 6068](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6068.txt)\] * urn \[[RFC 2141](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt)\] * urn:uuid \[[RFC 4122](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt)\] ### HTTP/HTTPS Support URI.equal("HTTP://ABC.COM:80", "http://abc.com/") === true URI.equal("https://abc.com", "HTTPS://ABC.COM:443/") === true ### WS/WSS Support URI.parse("wss://example.com/foo?bar=baz"); //returns: //{ // scheme : "wss", // host: "example.com", // resourceName: "/foo?bar=baz", // secure: true, //} URI.equal("WS://ABC.COM:80/chat#one", "ws://abc.com/chat") === true ### Mailto Support URI.parse("mailto:alpha@example.com,bravo@example.com?subject=SUBSCRIBE&body=Sign%20me%20up!"); //returns: //{ // scheme : "mailto", // to : ["alpha@example.com", "bravo@example.com"], // subject : "SUBSCRIBE", // body : "Sign me up!" //} URI.serialize({ scheme : "mailto", to : ["alpha@example.com"], subject : "REMOVE", body : "Please remove me", headers : { cc : "charlie@example.com" } }) === "mailto:alpha@example.com?cc=charlie@example.com&subject=REMOVE&body=Please%20remove%20me" ### URN Support URI.parse("urn:example:foo"); //returns: //{ // scheme : "urn", // nid : "example", // nss : "foo", //} #### URN UUID Support URI.parse("urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6"); //returns: //{ // scheme : "urn", // nid : "example", // uuid : "f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6", //} ## Usage To load in a browser, use the following tag: To load in a CommonJS/Module environment, first install with npm/yarn by running on the command line: npm install uri-js # OR yarn add uri-js Then, in your code, load it using: const URI = require("uri-js"); If you are writing your code in ES6+ (ESNEXT) or TypeScript, you would load it using: import * as URI from "uri-js"; Or you can load just what you need using named exports: import { parse, serialize, resolve, resolveComponents, normalize, equal, removeDotSegments, pctEncChar, pctDecChars, escapeComponent, unescapeComponent } from "uri-js"; ## Breaking changes ### Breaking changes from 3.x URN parsing has been completely changed to better align with the specification. Scheme is now always `urn`, but has two new properties: `nid` which contains the Namspace Identifier, and `nss` which contains the Namespace Specific String. The `nss` property will be removed by higher order scheme handlers, such as the UUID URN scheme handler. The UUID of a URN can now be found in the `uuid` property. ### Breaking changes from 2.x URI validation has been removed as it was slow, exposed a vulnerabilty, and was generally not useful. ### Breaking changes from 1.x The `errors` array on parsed components is now an `error` string.
