It looks interesting, but the readme nor the title doesn't make clear what is the project about. Would someone care to explain?

This project attempts to parse url's and email addresses from text, even when the protocol is missing or they're mangled in some other fashion (i.e. google.com/test-url?id=2 gets parsed and identified as valid URL, but invalid.nontld/test not. Or "[email protected] Text" get's parsed as [email protected])

So it needs to be updated every time new tld is added? That seems... suboptimal. Also it will not work for intranet addresses (valid.insidemylan/test).

Suggestion: change parse to extract

That would be even more clear.

FWIW, Apple’s implementation of this is called “NSDataDetector”.
