It provides a class-based interface to parse, inspect, and construct URLs by exposing their components (scheme, host, path, query parameters, etc.) as properties and methods. The library aims for a clearer, more explicit API compared to its predecessor, avoiding operator overloads in favor of named methods. It has no runtime dependencies and supports Python 3.8 through 3.13.\n\nThe package is useful when you need to programmatically build or decompose URLs, extract or modify query parameters, or validate URL structure. It sits between the standard library's urllib and more specialized URL libraries, offering a middle ground of convenience without heavy dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes, for straightforward URL manipulation tasks. The package is stable (Production/Stable classifier), has no dependencies, installs easily, and carries no licensing restrictions. The aging maintenance status (399 days since release) is a minor concern but not a blocker\u2014the code is mature and the repository remains active. Install it if you prefer a cleaner API over urllib for URL construction and inspection."},"id":"urlobject","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/urlobject","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/urlobject.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/urlobject/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"URLObject","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A utility class for manipulating URLs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":561457,"position":5995,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.0"}
