Tiny, fast, efficient, feature rich Javascript library to detect links / URLs / Emails in text and convert them to clickable HTML anchor links.

## Main features

-   **Sensitivity**:
    -   It's Highly sensitive with the least false positives.
    -   It validates URLs and Emails against full IANA list.
    -   Validates port numbers (if present).
    -   Validates IP octet numbers (if present).
    -   Works on non latin alphabets URLs.
-   **Robustness**:
    -   Skips HTML, so it doesn't break your HTML if it had a URL as an attribute for an element, or a link that is already inside an anchor.
    -   Links with or without protocols.
    -   Works with IPs, FTPs, Emails and files.
    -   Can detect parenthesis and quotation marks as part of the URL or as a surrounding to the URL.
    -   Easily extensible with your own code (e.g. for hashtags and mentions).
-   **Fast**: Performance is one of the main things that were kept in mind while writing this library.
    -   It's incredibly fast since 99% of all the heavy lifting is based on a single optimized regular expression.
    -   Processing H.G. Wells novel, the time machine, took only 2.2 milliseconds on my machine.
    -   This library is also a lot faster than other alternatives (linkify & autolinker). [Link to benchmark](https://alexcorvi.github.io/anchorme.js/benchmark.html)
-   **Light Weight**: Although it's a feature rich library with a full IANA list included, it's only **9KB** when minified and GZipped.
