How to parse URL using JavaScript ?

Given an URL and the task is to parse that URL and retrieve all the related data using JavaScript. Example:

URL: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/courses
When we parse the above URL then we can find
hostname: neveropen.com
path: /courses

Method 1: In this method, we will use createElement() method to create a HTML element, anchor tag and then use it for parsing the given URL. 

javascript




// Store the URL into variable
      
// Created a parser using createElement() method
var parser = document.createElement("a");
parser.href = url;
      
// Host of the URL
console.log(parser.host);
      
// Hostname of the URL
console.log(parser.hostname );
      
// Pathname of URL
console.log(parser.pathname);
      
// Search in the URL
console.log(parser.search );


Output:

geeksforgeeks.org
geeksforgeeks.org
/pathname/
?search=query

Method 2: In this method we will use URL() to create a new URL object and then use it for parsing the provided URL. 

javascript




// Store the URL into variable
var url =
      
// Created a URL object using URL() method
var parser = new URL(url);
      
// Protocol used in URL
console.log(parser.protocol);
      
// Host of the URL
console.log(parser.host);
      
// Port in the URL
console.log(parser.port);
      
// Hostname of the URL
console.log(parser.hostname);
      
// Search in the URL
console.log(parser.search);
      
// Search parameter in the URL
console.log(parser.searchParams);


Output:

https:
geeksforgeeks.org:3000
3000
geeksforgeeks.org
?search=query
search=query
