# Package org.apache.nutch.net.urlnormalizer.basic

URL normalizer performing basic normalizations:

- remove default ports, e.g., port 80 for `http://` URLs
- remove needless slashes and dot segments in the path component
- remove anchors
- use percent-encoding (only) where needed

E.g., `https://www.example.org/a/../b//./select%2Dlang.php?lang=español#anchor` is normalized to `https://www.example.org/b/select-lang.php?lang=espa%C3%B1ol` Optional and configurable normalizations are:

- convert Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) uniquely either to the ASCII (Punycode) or Unicode representation, see property `urlnormalizer.basic.host.idn`
- remove a trailing dot from host names, see property `urlnormalizer.basic.host.trim-trailing-dot`
