The ‘url’ module provides utilities for URL resolution and parsing. The getters and setters implement the properties of URL objects on the class prototype, and the URL class is available on the global object.

Example:

Javascript




// Create a test URLSearchParams object
const searchpar = new URLSearchParams("keya=vala&keyb=valb");
 
// Display the key/value pairs
for (let pair of searchpar.entries()) {
    console.log(pair[0] + ', ' + pair[1]);
}


Output:

keya, vala
keyb, valb
