Vectorised Tools for URL Handling and Parsing
A toolkit for handling URLs that so far includes functions for URL
encoding and decoding, parsing, and parameter extraction. All functions are
designed to be both fast and entirely vectorised. It is intended to be
useful for people dealing with web-related datasets, such as server-side
logs, although may be useful for other situations involving large sets of
URLs.

##urltools A package for elegantly handling and parsing URLs from within R.

Status: Stable
###Description
URLs in R are often treated as nothing more than part of data retrieval -
they're used for making connections and reading data. With web analytics
and research, however, URLs can be the data, and R's default handlers
are not best suited to handle vectorised operations over large datasets.
urltools is intended to solve this.
It contains drop-in replacements for R's URLdecode and URLencode functions, along with new functionality such as a URL parser and parameter value extractor. In all cases, the functions are designed to be content-safe (not breaking on unexpected values) and fully vectorised, resulting in a dramatic speed improvement over existing implementations - crucial for large datasets. For more information, see the urltools vignette.
