 
URL utilities for markdown-it parser.
Percent-encode a string, avoiding double encoding. Don't touch /a-zA-Z0-9/ +
excluded chars + /%[a-fA-F0-9]{2}/ (if not disabled). Broken surrorates are
replaced with U+FFFD.
Params:
- __str__ - input string.
;/?:@&=+$,-_.!~*'()#. Additional chars to keep intact/a-zA-Z0-9/).
true. By default it skips already encoded sequences/%[a-fA-F0-9]{2}/). If set to false, % will be encoded.
You can use these constants as second argument to encode function.
- encode.defaultChars is the same exclude set as in the standard encodeURI() function
- encode.componentChars is the same exclude set as in the encodeURIComponent() function
For example, encode('something', encode.componentChars, true) is roughly the equivalent of
the encodeURIComponent() function (except encode() doesn't throw).
Decode percent-encoded string. Invalid percent-encoded sequences (e.g. %2G)
are left as is. Invalid UTF-8 characters are replaced with U+FFFD.
Params:
- __str__ - input string.
;/?:@&=+$,#.You can use these constants as second argument to decode function.
- decode.defaultChars is the same exclude set as in the standard decodeURI() function
- decode.componentChars is the same exclude set as in the decodeURIComponent() function
For example, decode('something', decode.defaultChars) has the same behavior as
decodeURI('something') on a correctly encoded input.
Parse url string. Similar to node's url.parse, but without any normalizations and query string parse.
- __url__ - input url (string)
- __slashesDenoteHost__ - if url starts with //, expect a hostname after it. Optional, false.
Result (hash):
- protocol
Difference with node's url:
1. No leading slash in paths, e.g. in url.parse('http://foo?bar') pathname is
, not /
2. Backslashes are not replaced with slashes, so http:\\example.org\ is
treated like a relative path
3. Trailing colon is treated like a part of the path, i.e. in
http://example.org:foo pathname is :foo
4. Nothing is URL-encoded in the resulting object, (in joyent/node some chars
in auth and paths are encoded)
5. url.parse() does not have parseQueryString argument
6. Removed extraneous result properties: host, path, query, etc.,
which can be constructed using other parts of the url.
.format(urlObject)
Format an object previously obtained with
.parse()` function. Similar to node's
url.format.
