URLs-LE in use: Extract URLs from documentation, configs, and code.

What URLs-LE does

Links rot quietly, and the ones in your code and docs are the hardest to inventory. URLs-LE pulls every URL out of the active document with its real line and column, so a link audit is a list rather than a grep. It reads Markdown, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, YAML, Properties, TOML, INI and XML, and excludes code blocks and comments where the format defines them.

What people use it for

Every link, autolink and plain URL in Markdown and HTML — code blocks and comments excluded.

URLs in string literals, template literals and comments across JavaScript and TypeScript.

URLs in JSON strings, YAML values, Java properties, TOML/INI values and XML.
