API

url.parse(string)

Parse the given url string.

url.isAbsolute(string)

Check if the given url string is absolute (has a scheme specified).

url.isRelative(string)

Check if the given url string is relative.

url.isCrossDomain(string)

Check if the given url string is cross-domain.

Note

This url "parser" uses an A tag, this means that when a relative url is given, such as "/foo", it becomes relative to the current domain / path, because the browser resolves it as it normally would.
