ada-url

brew install ada-url v3.4.4 Apache-2.0 OR MIT

WHATWG-compliant URL parser library written in modern C++ with high performance across platforms.

Why you might care

Use ada-url when you need standards-compliant URL parsing in C++ with strong performance guarantees. It implements the WHATWG URL specification directly, making it ideal for browser engines, HTTP clients, and web tools that must handle real-world URLs correctly. Faster and more spec-compliant than hand-rolled parsers or older libraries.
