A lightweight JavaScript library to manipulate the page url.

Browse the demos on http://jillix.github.io/url.js/

The library is available on CDNJS as well. To use it, just do:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/urljs/1.2.0/url.min.js"></script>

<script src="path/to/url.js"></script>
<!-- or use the cdn
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/urljs/1.2.0/url.min.js"></script>
-->
<script>
    Url.updateSearchParam("answer", 42);
</script>

The library is CommonJS-compatible. You can require("url.js") in your files.

Check out the src directory to download the needed files and include them on your page.

If you're using this module in a CommonJS environment, you can install it from npm and require it:

$ npm i --save urljs
