WHATWG URL Utilities

bare-url is a JavaScript library providing a WHATWG URL Standard-compliant implementation for parsing, formatting, and manipulating URLs. As of version 2.4.1, it offers a robust set of utilities, including conversions between file paths and URL objects. It ships with comprehensive TypeScript type definitions, enabling strong type-checking in modern development environments. The package is actively maintained, indicated by its numerous versions and frequent recent updates, ensuring adherence to the evolving WHATWG standard. While Node.js provides a global `URL` class that aligns with the WHATWG specification, `bare-url` can serve as a consistent, lightweight alternative or a reliable polyfill in environments where the native `URL` might be absent, outdated, or exhibit inconsistent behavior. Its focus is on providing a dependable, spec-compliant URL API.
