JS utility function that: - Breaks down url to an object with accessible properties: protocol, parameters object, host, hash, etc... - Converts url parameters to key/value pairs - Convert parameter numeric values to their base types instead of strings - Store multiple values of a parameter in an array - Unescape parameter values
