URL parsing is trickier than it seems. Your browser uses the WHATWG URL standard, but your programming language might fail to support it. What about C#? Ada.Url is a WHATWG-compliant .NET binding over Ada, the C++ URL parser used in Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, Datadog and others. On Linux x64 it is about 1.9x faster than System.Uri. And, unlike System.Uri, it is WHATWG URL compliant. https://github.com/sanamhub/ada-csharp
