HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils mixin defines utility methods and properties to work with HTMLAnchorElement and HTMLAreaElement. These utilities allow to deal with common features like URLs.

There are no objects of this type, but several objects HTMLAnchorElement and HTMLAreaElement implement it.

[1] Starting in Chrome 52, the members of this interface were moved to URL

[2] Though not grouped in a single abstract interface, these methods are directly available on the interfaces that implement it, if this interface is supported.

[3] This mixin was called URLUtils before Firefox 45, and was also implemented to other by other interfaces, like Location. From Firefox 45, the other interfaces implement their own version of the properties and methods they need.

[4] Firefox has a bug whereby single quotes contained in URLs are escaped when accessed via URL APIs (bug 1386683). This has been fixed as of Firefox 57.
