Connparse is a multi-language library and specification for parsing connection strings, DSNs, URLs, file paths, and cloud storage URIs into a structured, safe object with support for dozens of databases and services. Its approach of defining provider rules via a shared YAML specification (CPDS) and providing conformant implementations in JavaScript, Go, Python, Rust, and Java is novel and practical.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
