## Install

```
$ npm install url-parse-lax
```


## Usage

```js
const urlParseLax = require('url-parse-lax');

urlParseLax('sindresorhus.com');
/*
{
	protocol: 'https:',
	slashes: true,
	auth: null,
	host: 'sindresorhus.com',
	port: null,
	hostname: 'sindresorhus.com',
	hash: null,
	search: null,
	query: null,
	pathname: '/',
	path: '/',
	href: 'https://sindresorhus.com/'
}
*/

urlParseLax('[2001:db8::]:8000');
/*
{
	protocol: null,
	slashes: true,
	auth: null,
	host: '[2001:db8::]:8000',
	port: '8000',
	hostname: '2001:db8::',
	hash: null,
	search: null,
	query: null,
	pathname: '/',
	path: '/',
	href: 'http://[2001:db8::]:8000/'

```js
const url = require('url');

url.parse('sindresorhus.com');
/*

	slashes: null,
	auth: null,
	host: null,
	port: null,
	hostname: null,
	hash: null,
	search: null,
	query: null,
	pathname: 'sindresorhus',
	path: 'sindresorhus',
	href: 'sindresorhus'
}
*/

url.parse('[2001:db8::]:8000');
/*
{
	protocol: null,
	slashes: null,
	auth: null,
