NodeJS - urlObject.host Property

---

---

A URL string is a structured string that contains multiple segments. If we parse this URL string, a URL object is returned. The returned URL Object contains segments that are present in the URL string.

The NodeJS urlObject.host property of urlObject specifies the complete lower-cased host segment of a URL, including the port portion if present.

For instance, consider this URL 'https://user:pass@site.com:8000/pa/th?q=val#hash'.

• “site.com:8000” is the host segment.

• “8000” is the port portion.
