These tests are for browsers, but the data for a-element.html, url-constructor.html, and a-element-xhtml.xhtml is in urltestdata.json and can be re-used by non-browser implementations. This file contains a JSON array of comments as strings and test cases as objects. The keys for each test case are:

• base: an absolute URL as a string whose parsing without a base of its own should succeed. This key is always present, and may have a value like "about:blank" when input is an absolute URL.
• input: an URL as a string to be parsed with base as its base URL.
• Either:

  • failure with the value true, indicating that parsing input should return failure,

  • or href, origin, protocol, username, password, host, hostname, port, pathname, search, and hash with string values; indicating that parsing input should return an URL record and that the getters of each corresponding attribute in that URL’s API should return the corresponding value.

    The origin key may be missing. In that case, the API’s origin attribute is not tested.
