URL

The url function allows the parsing and transformation of URLs

 output = input.url()

url

The simplest usage is to validate a URL

output = input.url()

{"input": "http://www.google.com/?q=apple"}
{"output": "http://www.google.com/?q=apple"}

A variety of different protocols are accepted

{"input": "https://www.google.com/?q=apple"}
{"output": "https://www.google.com/?q=apple"}

{"input": "ftp://www.google.com/"}
{"output": "ftp://www.google.com/"}

{"input": "mail://www.google.com/"}
{"output": "mail://www.google.com/"}

Fail to parse irregular urls and unsupported types…

 {"input": "www.google.com/?q=apple"}
 {}

 {"input": false}
 {}

 {"input": 1234}
 {}

 {"input": null}
 {}

 {"input": "abc"}
 {}

 {"input": {"y": "Abc"}}
 {}

URL magic methods..

    protocol = x.url().protocol
    host     = x.url().host
    path     = x.url().path
    query    = x.url().query

Parse regular urls…

{
    "protocol": "http",
    "host": "www.google.com",
    "path": "/abc",
    "query": "q=apple"
}


{"x": "https://www.google.com/abc?q=apple"}

{
 "protocol": "https",
 "host": "www.google.com",
 "path": "/abc",
 "query": "q=apple"
}

{"x": "ftp://www.google.com/abc?q=apple"}

{
    "protocol": "ftp",
    "host": "www.google.com",
    "path": "/abc"
    "query": "q=apple"
}

Fail to parse irregular urls and unsupported types..

 {"x": "www.google.com/?q=apple"}   {}
