URI.js

URI.js is a collection of JavaScript functions that allow developers to manipulate strings in the form of URIs (or URLs).

The library does not modify the page's current URL, and is merely a basic string manipulation tool, but specialized in URL strings alone.

URI.js works with client-side (browsers) and server-side (Node.js) environments.

A jQuery plugin is included with the download package as well.
