-# Identifier normalization research notes
-
-These notes summarize the standards and design choices that should be resolved before implementing `normalizeReference`. They are research material, not the current API contract.
-
-## Central constraint
-
-There is no universal canonical form for every URI or IRI. RFC 3986 defines comparison in levels because a transformation that is safe for one scheme or application can merge distinct identifiers in another.
-
-A normalizer should minimize false negatives without creating false positives:
-
-1. **Simple comparison** — compare characters exactly.
-2. **Syntax-based normalization** — apply transformations licensed by generic URI syntax.
-3. **Scheme-based normalization** — apply additional equivalences defined by a scheme.
-4. **Protocol-based normalization** — use equivalences established by observed protocol behavior.
-
-`normalizeReference` should implement only an explicitly selected level. Protocol-derived normalization does not belong in a deterministic identifier library.
-
-Reference: [RFC 3986 §6](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-6).
-
-## Generic syntax-based normalization
-
-The following transformations are suitable candidates for a generic URI profile.
-
-### Scheme and host case
-
-- Lowercase the scheme.
-- Lowercase the host.
-- Do not lowercase userinfo, path, query, or fragment.
-- Preserve Unicode component case unless a scheme or external policy defines equivalence.
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-HTTP://WWW.EXAMPLE.COM/ → http://www.example.com/
-```
-
-Reference: RFC 3986 §6.2.2.1.
-
-### Percent-triplet case
-
-Uppercase hexadecimal letters in every valid percent triplet:
-
-```text
-%3a → %3A
-%2f → %2F
-```
-
-This changes presentation, not the represented octet.
-
-Reference: RFC 3986 §§2.1 and 6.2.2.1.
-
-### Decode percent-encoded unreserved characters
-
-Decode a percent triplet only when it represents an ASCII unreserved character:
-
-```text
-ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
-```
-
-Examples:
-
-```text
-%63 → c
-%7E → ~
-```
-
-Do not generically decode reserved characters. `%2F` and `/`, for example, can have different structural meanings.
-
-Parse components before decoding so an encoded delimiter cannot be mistaken for syntax. Never decode the same data twice.
-
-References: RFC 3986 §§2.2–2.4 and 6.2.2.2.
-
-### Remove dot segments
-
-Apply the RFC 3986 §5.2.4 algorithm to the parsed path:
-
-```text
-/a/b/c/./../../g → /a/g
-```
-
-Only complete `.` and `..` path segments are special. Do not process similar text in a query or fragment:
-
-```text
-g?y/../x
-g#s/../x
-```
-
-References: RFC 3986 §§5.2.4 and 6.2.2.3.
-
-### Preserve component presence
-
-Recomposition must distinguish an absent component from a present but empty component:
-
-```text
-https://example.com/path
-https://example.com/path?
-https://example.com/path#
-```
-
-The same applies to an empty authority. Component delimiters must be emitted based on definedness, not truthiness.
-
-Reference: RFC 3986 §5.3.
-
-## Scheme-based profiles
-
-Scheme-specific transformations should not run unless the scheme profile is selected or automatic scheme handling is part of the documented contract.
-
-### HTTP and HTTPS
-
-RFC 9110 permits these normal forms:
-
-- lowercase scheme and host;
-- remove port `80` from `http`;
-- remove port `443` from `https`;
-- remove an explicitly empty port;
-- use `/` when authority is present and path is empty;
-- decode percent-encoded unreserved characters;
-- preserve all other component case.
-
-Examples:
-
-```text
-HTTP://Example.COM:80 → http://example.com/
-https://example.com:443/a → https://example.com/a
-```
-
-An HTTP request target does not include a fragment, but identifier normalization should not silently discard a fragment unless the selected operation specifically produces a request target.
-
-Userinfo in HTTP and HTTPS targets is deprecated and should be rejected or reported by an HTTP policy rather than silently normalized away.
-
-Reference: [RFC 9110 §§4.2.1–4.2.5](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#section-4.2).
-
-### WS and WSS
-
-Potential scheme-specific rules include:
-
-- default port `80` for `ws`;
-- default port `443` for `wss`;
-- `/` as the resource path when the path is empty;
-- no fragment identifiers;
-- IDN-to-ASCII handling under an explicitly selected hostname policy.
-
-Fragment rejection is validation, not normalization. A normalizer should not repair a WebSocket URI by silently deleting its fragment.
-
-Reference: [RFC 6455 §3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-3).
-
-### File
-
-A generic `file` normalizer is not recommended. Behavior varies by platform and filesystem:
-
-- local empty authority versus `localhost`;
-- POSIX roots;
-- Windows drive-letter case and UNC paths;
-- path case sensitivity;
-- backslash handling;
-- platform-specific Unicode normalization;
-- reserved device names and namespace paths.
-
-Require an explicit platform profile before applying these transformations.
-
-Reference: [RFC 8089](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8089).
-
-### Other schemes
-
-Apply only generic syntax normalization unless the scheme's authoritative specification defines additional equivalences. Do not infer default ports, path case rules, or authority behavior from a similar scheme.
-
-## IRI and Unicode decisions
-
-RFC 3987 recommends that creators produce IRIs in NFC, but comparison code must not arbitrarily normalize an existing Unicode IRI. Normalizing third-party text can merge identifiers that were intentionally distinct.
-
-Recommended policy:
-
-- do not apply Unicode normalization by default;
-- offer NFC only as an explicit creation or application-policy option;
-- do not offer NFKC as a generic identifier transformation;
-- retain the original IRI when a normalized form is generated only as a comparison key.
-
-### IRI-to-URI mapping is a separate operation
-
-Mapping an IRI to a URI is not merely normalization:
-
-1. encode non-ASCII `ucschar` and `iprivate` characters as UTF-8;
-2. percent-encode each UTF-8 octet as `%HH`;
-3. preserve existing valid percent triplets and URI-allowed characters;
-4. apply an explicit IDNA policy to internationalized hostnames when required.
-
-The reverse operation must decode only valid UTF-8 and must preserve encoded reserved characters. It must not guess legacy encodings.
-
-Reference: [RFC 3987 §§3 and 5](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987).
-
-## Transformations excluded by default
-
-A generic normalizer should not:
-
-- decode percent-encoded reserved characters;
-- lowercase userinfo, paths, queries, or fragments;
-- sort, deduplicate, or reinterpret query parameters;
-- remove empty query or fragment delimiters;
-- add or remove trailing slashes without scheme authority;
-- apply Unicode NFC or NFKC automatically;
-- convert an internationalized hostname without a defined IDNA version and policy;
-- remove userinfo rather than reporting it;
-- infer filesystem semantics for `file`;
-- infer equivalence from redirects or successful retrievals;
-- convert a relative reference without a supplied base.
-
-## Suggested API design
-
-Avoid a single aggressive operation. Two viable designs are:
-
-### Explicit profiles
-
-```js
-normalizeReference(reference, {
-    profile: 'generic', // generic | http | https | ws | wss
-    unicodeNormalization: false,
-});
-```
-
-A `file` profile should additionally require a platform policy.
-
-### Separate operations
-
-```js
-normalizeReference(reference);          // generic syntax only
-normalizeHttpReference(reference);      // HTTP/HTTPS scheme rules
-normalizeWebSocketReference(reference); // WS/WSS scheme rules
-iriToUri(reference, options);            // explicit representation mapping
-```
-
-Separate operations are harder to misuse and make compatibility changes more visible. A profile-based API is easier to extend. The final choice should follow the expected consumers.
-
-## Suggested generic processing order
-
-1. Parse and retain whether authority, query, and fragment are absent or empty.
-2. Lowercase scheme and host where generic syntax permits it.
-3. Normalize percent-triplet hexadecimal case.
-4. Decode percent-encoded ASCII unreserved characters component by component.
-5. Remove dot segments from the path.
-6. Apply an explicitly selected scheme profile.
-7. Apply Unicode normalization only when explicitly requested.
-8. Recompose while preserving empty components.
-9. Validate the normalized output under the same identifier and scheme policy.
-10. Optionally verify idempotence:
-
-```js
-normalizeReference(normalizeReference(value)) === normalizeReference(value)
-```
-
-## Acceptance scenarios
-
-A generic profile should include at least these cases:
-
-```text
-HTTP://Example.COM/%7euser       → http://example.com/~user
-http://example.com/a/./b/../c   → http://example.com/a/c
-http://example.com/path?        → http://example.com/path?
-http://example.com/path#        → http://example.com/path#
-http://example.com/%2F          → http://example.com/%2F
-```
-
-An HTTP profile can additionally include:
-
-```text
-http://example.com:80           → http://example.com/
-https://example.com:443/a       → https://example.com/a
-```
-
-Cases that must remain distinct under generic normalization include:
-
-```text
-http://example.com/a            ≠ http://example.com/a/
-http://example.com/path         ≠ http://example.com/path?
-http://example.com/%2F          ≠ http://example.com//
-http://example.com/A            ≠ http://example.com/a
-```
-
-Testing should cover URI and IRI forms, empty components, rootless paths, percent triplets, Unicode supplementary characters, idempotence, and normalization followed by parsing/recomposition.
-
-## Open decisions
-
-Before implementation, decide:
-
-1. Whether `normalizeReference` is generic-only or selects profiles automatically by scheme.
-2. Whether output preserves the input category: URI versus IRI.
-3. Whether relative references are normalized in place or require a base and become absolute.
-4. Whether Unicode NFC is offered, and for which creation contexts.
-5. Whether IDNA conversion belongs here or in a dedicated hostname dependency.
-6. Whether comparison keys and display/transport identifiers use separate APIs.
-7. Whether unsupported scheme profiles throw, fall back to generic rules, or require an explicit option.
-8. Whether current callers can rely on `normalizeReference` remaining an identity function until a major release.

+# URI and IRI normalization
+
+Parsed URI and IRI results expose `normalize()` for syntax-based normalization, the implemented HTTP, HTTPS, WS, and WSS scheme rules, and optional RFC 3987 IRI-to-URI output. The method returns a string and leaves the parsed components unchanged.
+
+## API
+
+```ts
+type RegNameMapper = (regName: string) => string
+
+type NormalizeOptions = {
+    toUri?: boolean
+    mapRegName?: RegNameMapper
+}
+
+interface NormalizableReference {
+    normalize(options?: NormalizeOptions): string
+}
+```
+
+The method is available on results from:
+
+- `parseUri`
+- `parseUriReference`
+- `parseAbsoluteUri`
+- `parseIri`
+- `parseIriReference`
+- `parseAbsoluteIri`
+
+It is non-enumerable and reads the result object's current component properties when called.
+
+```js
+const { parseIriReference } = require('identifier-js');
+
+const parsed = parseIriReference(
+    'HTTP://Example.COM/%7e/a/../b?x=%2f#%41',
+);
+
+parsed.normalize();
+// http://example.com/~/b?x=%2F#A
+
+parsed.path;
+// /%7e/a/../b
+```
+
+## RFC syntax normalization
+
+| Behavior | Implementation | Source |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Case normalization | Lowercase the scheme and an ASCII-only host. Uppercase hexadecimal letters in percent triplets. | [RFC 3986 §6.2.2.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-6.2.2.1), [RFC 3987 §5.3.2.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987#section-5.3.2.1) |
+| Percent-encoded unreserved characters | Decode percent triplets representing ASCII letters, digits, `-`, `.`, `_`, or `~`. Retain percent encoding for reserved octets. | [RFC 3986 §§2.2–2.4 and 6.2.2.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-6.2.2.2), [RFC 3987 §5.3.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987#section-5.3.2.3) |
+| Path segments | Apply the RFC dot-segment algorithm where the parsed reference can be normalized independently. Preserve unresolved rootless-relative path semantics. | [RFC 3986 §§5.2.4 and 6.2.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-5.2.4), [RFC 3987 §5.3.2.4](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987#section-5.3.2.4) |
+| Component recomposition | Emit authority, query, and fragment delimiters from component presence, including present-empty components. | [RFC 3986 §5.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-5.3) |
+| IPv6 text | Suppress leading zeroes, compress the longest zero run with first-run tie breaking, and use lowercase hexadecimal. Known embedded-IPv4 forms use mixed notation. | [RFC 5952 §§4–5](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5952#section-4) |
+| IRI-to-URI output | With `toUri: true`, encode non-ASCII authority, path, query, and fragment characters as uppercase UTF-8 percent triplets. | [RFC 3987 §3.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3987#section-3.1) |
+
+Without a mapper, normalization retains the parser's host classification as an IP literal, IPv4 address, or registered name. IPvFuture literals use generic host case normalization. Existing non-ASCII IRI host text is retained unless the registered-name mapper supplies another value.
+
+## HTTP and HTTPS
+
+For `http` and `https`, normalization applies the generic rules and these scheme rules:
+
+| Input component | Output | Source |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Empty port | Omit the port delimiter. | [RFC 3986 §3.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.2.3) |
+| `http` port numerically equal to `80` | Omit the port. | [RFC 9110 §4.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#section-4.2.3) |
+| `https` port numerically equal to `443` | Omit the port. | [RFC 9110 §4.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#section-4.2.3) |
+| Empty authority path | Use `/`. | [RFC 9110 §4.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#section-4.2.3) |
+
+Decimal port comparison includes leading-zero spellings.
+
+```text
+HTTP://Example.COM:80                → http://example.com/
+https://example.com:00443/a          → https://example.com/a
+http://example.com:/a                → http://example.com/a
+```
+
+## WS and WSS
+
+For `ws` and `wss`, normalization applies the generic rules and these scheme rules:
+
+| Input component | Output | Source |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Empty port | Omit the port delimiter. | [RFC 3986 §3.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.2.3) |
+| `ws` port numerically equal to `80` | Omit the port. | [RFC 3986 §6.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-6.2.3), [RFC 6455 §3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-3) |
+| `wss` port numerically equal to `443` | Omit the port. | [RFC 3986 §6.2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-6.2.3), [RFC 6455 §3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-3) |
+| Empty authority path | Use `/` as the resource-name path. | [RFC 6455 §3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6455#section-3) |
+
+```text
+WS://Example.COM:80                  → ws://example.com/
+wss://example.com:00443/chat         → wss://example.com/chat
+ws://example.com?channel=updates     → ws://example.com/?channel=updates
+```
+
+## Registered-name mapping and URI output
+
+For a non-empty registered-name host, `options.mapRegName` is called once with the current host spelling before built-in normalization. IP literals, IPv4 addresses, absent hosts, and empty hosts bypass the mapper.
+
+The mapper owns the returned text and all registered-name validation, representation, and host-kind policy. This package enforces only the declared string return type. It does not check whether mapper output is non-empty, remains a registered name, introduces component delimiters, resembles an IP address, or satisfies a scheme-specific hostname grammar. The returned string then receives percent-triplet and ASCII host-case normalization. Mapper exceptions propagate unchanged.
+
+```js
+const mapped = parseIriReference('x://example').normalize({
+    mapRegName: () => 'Application Defined',
+});
+
+mapped;
+// x://application defined
+```
+
+The example deliberately produces text that is not a valid URI or IRI; validating or selecting mapper output belongs to the application.
+
+With `toUri: true`, existing percent triplets remain encoded, and non-ASCII userinfo, mapper output, path, query, and fragment text becomes uppercase UTF-8 percent triplets. A mapper can supply an ASCII hostname when its consuming scheme requires one; this package does not validate mapper output against that scheme.
+
+```js
+const { parseIri } = require('identifier-js');
+
+parseIri('x:/café?q=資料#résultat').normalize({ toUri: true });
+// x:/caf%C3%A9?q=%E8%B3%87%E6%96%99#r%C3%A9sultat
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+The normalization suite covers URI and IRI parser results, component presence, percent triplets, dot segments, host kinds, RFC 5952 output, HTTP and WebSocket scheme rules, registered-name mapping, IRI-to-URI output, component non-mutation, and idempotence.
+
+```sh
+npm test
+```

+When no safe rootless relative form can round-trip to the target, `toRelativeReference` returns the absolute target. Different schemes or authorities also return the target unchanged. Complete dot segments in either path also trigger this fallback because RFC resolution removes them. For those inputs, resolving the result produces the same identifier as resolving the target directly; lexical dot-segment spelling is not preserved.

-### Normalization status
+### Normalize parsed URI and IRI references
 
-`normalizeReference` is reserved for future normalization policy and currently returns its input unchanged.
+Every URI and IRI parse result provides an optional, non-enumerable `normalize()` method. Parsing remains usable by itself; normalization runs only when the method is called and returns a string without modifying the parsed components.

-URI/IRI normalization has multiple standards-defined levels and scheme-specific tradeoffs. See [`normalization.md`](normalization.md) for implementation options, unsafe transformations, suggested profiles, and acceptance scenarios.
+The method is available from `parseUri`, `parseUriReference`, `parseAbsoluteUri`, `parseIri`, `parseIriReference`, and `parseAbsoluteIri`.
+
+Normalization implements RFC 3986 and RFC 3987 syntax normalization for scheme and host case, percent triplets, ASCII unreserved characters, path dot segments, and component recomposition. IPv6 literals use RFC 5952 text. HTTP(S) default ports and empty paths follow RFC 9110; WS(S) defaults and resource-name paths follow RFC 6455.
+
+For a non-empty registered-name host, `mapRegName` receives the current host spelling before built-in normalization. The mapper exclusively owns validation, representation, and host-kind policy for its returned string. Apart from enforcing the declared string return type, this package does not check whether mapper output is non-empty, remains a registered name, introduces delimiters, resembles an IP address, or satisfies a scheme-specific hostname grammar.
+
+With `toUri: true`, non-ASCII userinfo, mapper output, path, query, and fragment text becomes uppercase UTF-8 percent triplets under RFC 3987 §3.1. A mapper can supply an ASCII hostname when its consuming scheme requires one; this package does not enforce that requirement or validate the complete normalized result.
+
+See [`normalization.md`](normalization.md) for the exact RFC section mapping and examples.
