what is NodeJs url module

the URL module splits the url into readable parts for

const urladdress = 'http://localhost:8080/default.htm?year=2017&month=february';
const url = require('url');

let q = url.parse(urladdress,true);
console.log(q);

Output:

Url {
  protocol: 'http:',
  slashes: true,
  auth: null,
  host: 'localhost:8080',
  port: '8080',
  hostname: 'localhost',
  hash: null,
  search: '?year=2017&month=february',
  query: [Object: null prototype] { year: '2017', month: 'february' },
  pathname: '/default.htm',
  path: '/default.htm?year=2017&month=february',
  href: 'http://localhost:8080/default.htm?year=2017&month=february'
