Database URL Parser

The `parse-database-url` package is a utility designed to parse database connection strings provided as URLs, commonly found in environment variables like `DATABASE_URL` in Heroku deployments. The latest and only version, 0.3.0, was published over 10 years ago (in 2016) and targets very old Node.js versions (0.6, 0.8, 0.10). It is unmaintained and lacks support for modern JavaScript features like ES Modules (ESM) and TypeScript. While it served a purpose in its time by simplifying database configuration from a single URL string, contemporary projects should favor actively maintained alternatives that offer broader database support, robust URL parsing (including special characters in passwords), and modern module compatibility.
