    A great initiative!

    We need a better URL parser in Scrapy, for similar reasons. Speed and WHATWG standard compliance (i.e. do the same as web browsers) are the main things.

    It's possible to get closer to WHATWG behavior by using urllib and some hacks. This is what https://github.com/scrapy/w3lib does, which Scrapy currently uses. But it's still not quite compliant.

    Also, surprisingly, on some crawls URL parsing can take CPU amounts similar to HTML parsing.

    Ada / can_ada look very promising!

    Nice.

    I'll also throw in that I've recently wrote bindings to Mozilla's servo URL library.

    Those live at https://github.com/crate-py/url

    They're not complete yet (meaning only the parsing bits are exposed, not URL modification) but I too was frustrated with the state of URL parsing.
