+### `net/url`
+
+Provides a `parse` function that parses a raw url into a URL structure.
+The url may be relative (a path, without a host) or absolute (starting with a scheme). Trying to parse a hostname and path without a scheme is invalid but may not necessarily return an error, due to parsing ambiguities.
+
+
+```lua
+> local url = require("net/url")
+> url.parse("https://example.com/path?p1=a#section")
+{
+    ["host"] = "example.com"
+    ["path"] = "/path"
+    ["scheme"] = "https"
+    ["query"] = "p1=a"
+    ["fragment"] = "section"
+}
+```
+

 ### `net/http` (optional)
 
 Provides a `request` function that performs an HTTP request.
