Hi, can_ada (but not ada!) dev here. Ada is over 20k lines of well-tested and fuzzed source by 25+ developers, along with an accompanying research paper. It is the parser used in node.js and parses billions of URLs a day.

can_ada is simply a 60-line glue and packaging making it available with low overhead to Python.

Ah, that makes more sense -- it might be a good idea to integrate with the upstream library as a submodule rather than lifting the actual .cpp/.h files into the bindings repo. That way people know the upstream C++ code is from a much more active project.

Despite my snarky comments, thank you for contributing to the python ecosystem, this does seem like a cool project for high performance URL parsing!
