Module that has utilities for URN parsing
npm install urn-parserurn-parser - Module for URN parsing
==========
URN-Parser is a module that provides functions for parsing URN (Uniform Resource Name) that is loosly
based upon the standard url module within node. Parsing is derived from the excellent parseUri
function by Steven Levithan, but stripped down for the urn scheme.
Although the URN-parser is a good start, for a more complete and fully compliant implemnentation
I recommend you take a look at the URI Type for javascript module which
allows the urn to be inspected as an uri.
#### What's an URN?
The best place to start if you want to know more about URNs is (of course) the wikipedia article on
Uniform Resource Name.
require("urn-parser"); and once loaded #### Class urn-parser.Parser
The Parser class is a wrapper object class that provides access to an object that can be
used to parse urn instances.
This class has the following interface:
##### Constructor Parser(options)
Creates a new instance with the specified options
##### Method Parser.parse(urnStr, strictMode)
Parses an URN into components (optionally in strict mode)
##### Method Parser.complete(obj)
Creates a complete URN definition from its components
##### Method Parser.format(obj)
Formats an URN definition into a well-formed URN string
#### Function urn-parser.parse
The parse function is a proxy to the Parser.parse(urnStr, strictMode) method on a singleton Parser
instance that is created for the module.
#### Function urn-parser.complete
The complete function is a proxy to the Parser.complete(obj) method on a singleton Parser
instance that is created for the module.
#### Function urn-parser.format
The format function is a proxy to the Parser.format(obj) method on a singleton Parser
instance that is created for the module.
