Poly9’s Polyvalent Javascript URL Parser
Written by on November 25th, 2006 in Ajax News.
Denis Laprise and the Poly9 Group needed a robust URL parser in JavaScript, so they created the Polyvalent Javascript URL Parser.
var p = new Poly9.URLParser(’http://user:password@poly9.com/pathname?arguments=1#fragment’);
p.getHost() == ‘poly9.com’;
p.getProtocol() == ‘http’;
p.getPathname() == ‘/pathname’;
p.getQuerystring() == ‘arguments=1′;
p.getFragment() == ‘fragment’;
p.getUsername() == ‘user’;
p.getPassword() == ‘password’;
p.getHost() == ‘poly9.com’;
p.getProtocol() == ‘http’;
p.getPathname() == ‘/pathname’;
p.getQuerystring() == ‘arguments=1′;
p.getFragment() == ‘fragment’;
p.getUsername() == ‘user’;
p.getPassword() == ‘password’;
p.setURL(’another.url.com’);
p.getHost() == ‘another.url.com’;
p.getProtocol() == ”;
p.setURL(’dsdsad’); // throws an exception
This smells like a Java group writing JavaScript to me with the camelCase and thus p.getUsername() instead of p.username.
You can check out the implementation and the test suite (zip).
