pathname property
The pathname
property of the URL interface represents a location
in a hierarchical structure. It is a string constructed from a list of
path segments, each of which is prefixed by a /
character. If the URL
has no path segments, the value of its pathname
property will be the
empty string.
URLs such as https
and http
URLs that have
hierarchical schemes
(which the URL standard calls
"special schemes") always
have at least one (invisible) path segment: the empty string. Thus the
pathname
value for such "special scheme" URLs can never be the empty
string, but will instead always have a least one /
character.
For example, the URL https://developer.mozilla.org
has just one path
segment: the empty string, so its pathname
value is constructed by
prefixing a /
character to the empty string.
Some systems define the term slug to mean the final segment of a
non-empty path if it identifies a page in human-readable keywords. For
example, the URL
https://example.org/articles/this-that-other-outre-collection
has
this-that-other-outre-collection
as its slug.
Some systems use the ;
and =
characters to delimit parameters and
parameter values applicable to a path segment. For example, with the URL
https://example.org/users;id=42/tasks;state=open?sort=modified
, a system
might extract and use the path segment parameters id=42
and state=open
from the path segments users;id=42
and tasks;state=open
.
