The URL module has utilities for URL resolution and parsing.

$ volo add anchorjs/url

For more information on using volo to manage JavaScript modules, visit http://volojs.org/.

Take a URL string, and return an object.

url.parse('http://www.example.com/')

Take a parsed URL object, and return a formatted URL string.

url.format({ 'protocol': 'http:',
             'host': 'www.example.com',
             'pathname': '/' })

Take a base URL, and a href URL, and resolve them as a browser would for an anchor tag.

url.resolve('http://example.com/a', '/b');

This module conforms to the interface exported by Node's URL module.

To run tests in a browser, execute the Make target for the desired browser:
