This is a super fast, tiny and solid client-side URL parser.
anchorize.js parses your URL natively without any regular expressions or string operations. Since it uses your browsers built in renderer you will get a quite safe result :)
bower install anchorize<script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/anchorize.js"></script>var parsed = anchorize('http://bob:[email protected]:1337/sub/path?foo=bar#jumpto');
parsed.protocol; // http
parsed.username; // bob
parsed.password; // secret
parsed.host; // any.host:1337
parsed.port; // 1337
parsed.search; // ?foo=bar
parsed.hash; // #jumpto
