Description

This is a JavaScript port of the URL regex from http://stackoverflow.com/a/190405/384062 that includes a bug fix and some optimization.

Mathias Bynens's Regenerate was used to convert unicode escapes.

Bug fix: Eliminated stray | falsely allowing querystring to contain |

Optimization: Merged alternated character classes in querystring and fragment identifier portions for better performance.
