Syntax & Usage

Chapter 1. Normalize or parse one URL

Chapter 2. Extract all URLs or emails

Chapter 3. Extract URIs with certain names

Chapter 4. Extract all fuzzy URLs (False positives detected)

Chapter 5. Extract all URLs in raw HTML or XML

Chapter 1. Normalize or parse one URL

The following two methods should be used for only one url, not for multiple ones in texts. (for multiple ones, refer to Chapter 2 & 4)

normalizeUrl vs parseUrl

If you want to parse a normal url with no typos, it is safe to use parseUrl. However, normalizeUrl is for parsing urls with possible human errors.

  • normalizeUrl
/**
* @brief
* Normalize an url with potential human errors (Intranet urls are not allowed.)
*/
var sample1 = Pattern.UrlArea.normalizeUrl("htp/:/abcgermany.,def;:9094 #park//noon??abc=retry")
var sample2 = Pattern.UrlArea.normalizeUrl("'://abc.jppp:9091 /park/noon'")
var sample3 = Pattern.UrlArea.normalizeUrl("ss hd : /university,.acd. ;jpkp: 9091/adc??abc=.com")
console.log()
{
 "url": "htp/:/abcgermany.,def;:9094 #park//noon??abc=retry",
 "normalizedUrl": "http://abcgermany.de:9094#park/noon?abc=retry",
 "removedTailOnUrl": "",
 "protocol": "http",
 "onlyDomain": "abcgermany.de",
 "onlyParams": "?abc=retry",
 "onlyUri": "#park/noon",
 "onlyUriWithParams": "#park/noon?abc=retry",
 "onlyParamsJsn": {
   "abc": "retry"
 },
 "type": "domain",
 "port": "9094"
}
{
 "url": "'://abc.jppp:9091 /park/noon'",
 "normalizedUrl": "abc.jp:9091/park/noon",
 "removedTailOnUrl": "'",
 "protocol": null,
 "onlyDomain": "abc.jp",
 "onlyParams": null,
 "onlyUri": "/park/noon'",
 "onlyUriWithParams": "/park/noon'",
 "onlyParamsJsn": null,
 "type": "domain",
 "port": "9091"
}
{
 "url": "ss hd : /university,.acd. ;jpkp로 접속",
 "normalizedUrl": "ssh://university.ac.jp",
 "removedTailOnUrl": "",
 "protocol": "ssh",
 "onlyDomain": "university.ac.jp",
 "onlyParams": null,
 "onlyUri": null,
 "onlyUriWithParams": null,
 "onlyParamsJsn": null,
 "type": "domain",
 "port": null
}
  • parseUrl
/**
* @brief
* Parse an url with no potential human errors
*/
var url = Pattern.UrlArea.parseUrl("xtp://gooppalgo.com/park/tree/?abc=1")
console.log()
{
 "url": "xtp://gooppalgo.com/park/tree/?abc=1",
 "removedTailOnUrl": "",
 "protocol": "xtp (unknown protocol)",
 "onlyDomain": "gooppalgo.com",
 "onlyParams": "?abc=1",
 "onlyUri": "/park/tree/",
 "onlyUriWithParams": "/park/tree/?abc=1",
 "onlyParamsJsn": {
   "abc": "1"
 },
 "type": "domain",
 "port": null
}

Chapter 2. Extract all URLs or emails

The following methods are recommended to use in most cases.
  • extractAllUrls
    var textStr = 'http://[::1]:8000에서 http ://www.example.com/wpstyle/?p=364 is ok \n' +
        'HTTP://foo.com/blah_blah_(wikipedia) https://www.google.com/maps/place/USA/@36.2218457,... tnae1ver.com:8000on the internet  Asterisk\n ' +

        'Have you visited http://goasidaio.ac.kr?abd=5안녕하세요?5...,.&kkk=5rk.,, ' +
        'http://✪df.ws/123\n' +

        'http://-.~_!$&\'()*+,;=:%40:80%2f::::::@example.com ' +
        'Have <b>you</b> visited goasidaio.ac.kr?abd=5hell0?5...&kkk=5rk.,. ';
 
     /**

      *    default :  {

                 'intranet' : false
             }
       
 var urls = Pattern.TextArea.extractAllUrls(textStr, {
                    'ip_v4' : true,
                    'ip_v6' : false,
                    'localhost' : false,
                    'intranet' : true
})
  • extractAllEmails
        /**
         * @brief
         * Distill all emails from normal text
         * @author Andrew Kang
         * @param textStr string required
         * @param prefixSanitizer boolean (default : false)
         * @return array
         */

  var emails = Pattern.TextArea.extractAllEmails(textStr, true)
console.log()
You may be wondering what the 'pass' property below means. If 'pass' is true, that is the email pattern is strictly true following RFC rules.
 [{
    "value": {
      "email": "가나다@apacbook.ac.kr",
      "removedTailOnEmail": null,
      "type": "domain"
    },
    "area": "text",
    "index": {
      "start": 222,
      "end": 240
    },
    "pass": false
  },
  {
    "value": {
      "email": "adssd@asdasd.ac.jp",

Chapter 4. Extract all fuzzy URLs

The strongest url extracting method of URL-knife in natural language texts. However, this does not detect intranets due to false positives. If you need to extract intranets, go back to the Chapter 2 above.
