<h2 id="fragment-abuse">Working with the Fragment (Hash)</h2>
<p>
There are virtually no limits to what you might do with fragments (hash).
Every system has their own bag of tricks.
As a result URI.js cannot offer any of the following tools right out of the box.
The most common <em>abuse of fragments</em> are storing URLs or query string like data.
</p>
<p>
Usually a prefix is used to identify data with special meaning. This prefix can be pretty much what you want.
For URIs it's usually <code>!</code> and for query-like data it often is <code>?</code>.
But they don't have to, which is why you can define a global default: <code>URI.fragmentPrefix = "$";</code>
</p>
<h3 id="fragment-abuse-query">Query String Fragments</h3>
<p>The file <a href="https://github.com/medialize/URI.js/blob/gh-pages/src/URI.fragmentQuery.js">src/URI.fragmentQuery.js</a> is a "plugin" that allows you to store data in hashes in the same manner the .query() functions provide.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("#?hello=world");
uri.addFragment("hello", "mars"); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "#?hello=world&hello=mars"
// to change the fragment prefix on an instance level:
uri.fragmentPrefix("!");
// to change the fragment prefix on a global level:
URI.fragmentPrefix = "!";</pre>
<h3 id="fragment-abuse-uri">URL Fragments</h3>
<p>The file <a href="https://github.com/medialize/URI.js/blob/gh-pages/src/URI.fragmentURI.js">src/URI.fragmentURI.js</a> is a "plugin" that allows you to store URLs in hashes.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = URI("http://example.org/#!/foo/bar/baz.html");
var furi = uri.fragment(true);
// manipulating the fragment URI
furi.pathname() === "/foo/bar/baz.html";

<h2 id="normalizing">Normalizing URLs</h2>
<h3 id="normalize">normalize()</h3>
<p>executes normalizeProtocol(), normalizeHostname(), normalizePort(), normalizePath(), normalizeSearch(), normalizeHash()</p>
<h3 id="normalize-protocol">normalizeProtocol()</h3>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("hTTp://www.example.org/");
// normalize protocol
uri.normalizeProtocol(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://www.example.org/"</pre>
<h3 id="normalize-host">normalizeHostname()</h3>
<p>For IDN conversion <a href="https://github.com/bestiejs/punycode.js">punycode.js</a> must be available (bundled in URI.js).
For IPv6-best-notation conversion IPv6.js must be available (bundled in URI.js). Also lower-cases hostnames.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://www.exämple.org/");
// normalize IDN host
uri.normalizeHostname(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://www.xn--exmple-cua.org/"
// normalize IPv6 host
uri.hostname("fe80:0000:0000:0000:0204:61ff:fe9d:f156");
uri.normalizeHostname(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://fe80::204:61ff:fe9d:f156/"
// normalize hostname to lower case
uri.hostname("wWw.eXample.Org");
uri.normalizeHostname(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://www.example.org/"</pre>
<p>There is no .normalizeHost(), as <a href="#accessors-host">.host()</a> is a property comprised of <a href="#accessors-hostname">.hostname()</a> and <a href="#accessors-port">.port()</a></p>
<h3 id="normalize-port">normalizePort()</h3>
<p>Removes the port, if it's the default for the given protocol (http: 80, https: 443, ftp: 21).</p>
<p>The list of default ports can be modified at <code>URI.defaultPorts</code></p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org:80/foo.html");
// normalize port
uri.normalizePort(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/foo.html"</pre>
<h3 id="normalize-path">normalizePathname(), normalizePath()</h3>
<p>.normalizePath() is an alias of .normalizePathname(), they resolve relative hierarchies</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("/hello/foo/woo/.././../world.html");
// normalize path
uri.normalizePathname(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "/hello/world.html"</pre>
<h3 id="normalize-search">normalizeSearch(), normalizeQuery()</h3>
<p>Turns <code>?&foo=bar&&foo=bar&foo=baz&</code> into <code>?foo=bar&foo=baz</code> and removes ? if there is no query string.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("?&foo=bar&&foo=bar&foo=baz&");
// normalize search
uri.normalizeSearch(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "?foo=bar&foo=baz"</pre>
<h3 id="normalize-hash">normalizeHash(), normalizeFragment()</h3>
<p>removes # if there is no hash</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://example.org/foo/hello.html#");
// normalize hash
uri.normalizeHash(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "http://example.org/bar/world.xml"</pre>
<h2 id="charsets">Charsets / Encodings</h2>
<h3 id="iso8859">iso8859()</h3>
<p>.iso8859() converts unicode-encoded escape sequences to ISO8859-encoded escape sequences. It does this by calling <a href="#normalize">.normalize()</a> internally.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("/%C3%A4.html");
uri.iso8859(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "/%E4.html"</pre>
<p class="note">You can make URI work with ISO8859 encoding by default by calling <a href="#static-iso8859">URI.iso8859()</a>.
<h3 id="unicode">unicode()</h3>
<p>.unicode() converts ISO8859-encoded escape sequences to unicode-encoded escape sequences. It does this by calling <a href="#normalize">.normalize()</a> internally.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("/%E4.html");
uri.unicode(); // returns the URI instance for chaining
// uri == "/%C3%A4.html"</pre>
<h2 id="formatting">Formatting URLs</h2>
<h3 id="readable">readable()</h3>
<p>Formats URLs to be human readable (much like your browser does nowadays).</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("http://foo:bar@www.xn--exmple-cua.org/"
+ "hello%20world/ä.html?foo%5B%5D=b+är#fragment");
uri.readable() === "http://www.exämple.org/"
+ "hello world/ä.html?foo[]=b är#fragment";</pre>
<h2 id="relative-and-absolute">Relative and Absolute URLs</h2>
<h3 id="relativeto">relativeTo()</h3>
<p>.relativeTo() compares two <em>paths</em> and makes one relative to the other</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("/relative/path");
// make path relative
var relUri = uri.relativeTo("/relative/sub/foo/sub/file"); // returns a new URI instance
// relUri == "../../../path"
// absolute URLs are passed through unchanged
URI("http://example.org/world.html")
.relativeTo("http://google.com/baz");
// -> "http://example.org/world.html"
// absolute URLs relative to absolute URLs
// may resolve the protocol
URI("http://example.org/world.html")
.clone()
.authority("")
.relativeTo("http://google.com/baz");
// -> "//google.com/world.html"
// equal URLs are relative by empty string
URI("http://www.example.com:8080/dir/file")
.relativeTo('http://www.example.com:8080/dir/file');
// -> ""
// relative on fragment and query string as well
URI("http://www.example.com:8080/dir/file?foo=bar#abcd")
.relativeTo('http://www.example.com:8080/dir/file');
// -> "?foo=bar#abcd"</pre>
<p>.relativeTo() and .absoluteTo() reverse each other.</p>
<h3 id="absoluteto">absoluteTo()</h3>
<p>.absoluteTo() makes a <em>relative path</em> absolute based on another path</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var uri = new URI("../../../path");
// make path absolute
var relUri = uri.absoluteTo("/relative/sub/foo/sub/file"); // returns a new URI instance
// relUri == "/relative/path"
// resolves protocols
var u = new URI('//example.com/path');
u.absoluteTo('https://example.com');
// -> "https://example.com/path"
var u = new URI('//example.com/path');
u.absoluteTo('https://');
// -> "https://example.com/path"</pre>
<p>.relativeTo() and .absoluteTo() reverse each other.</p>
<h2 id="comparison">Comparing URLs</h2>
<h3 id="equals">equals()</h3>
<p>.equals() determines if the given URLs are the same - disregarding default ports, capitalization, dot-pathnames, query-parameter order, etc.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var a = "http://example.org/foo/bar.html"
+ "?foo=bar&hello=world&hello=mars#fragment";
var b;
// normalizing URI before comparison:
b = "http://exAMPle.org:80/foo/../foo/bar.html"
+ "?foo=bar&hello=world&hello=mars#fragment";
a !== b;
URI(a).equals(b) === true;
// comparing query string parameters:
b = "http://example.org/foo/bar.html"
+ "?hello=mars&foo=bar&hello=world&#fragment";
a !== b;
URI(a).equals(b) === true;
// shorthand for comparing to window.location.href:
URI(a).equals();</pre>
<h2 id="parsing-urls">Parsing URLs</h2>
<h3 id="static-parse">URI.parse(<em>string</em> url)</h3>
<p>parses a string into its URI components. returns an object containing the found components</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var result = URI.parse("http://example.org/foo.html");
result === {
