The HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils mixin defines utility methods and properties to work with HTMLAnchorElement and HTMLAreaElement. These utilities allow to deal with common features like URLs.

There are no objects of this type, but several objects such as HTMLAnchorElement and HTMLAreaElement implement it.

HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils.host: This is a USVString containing the host, that is the hostname, and then, if the port of the URL is not empty (which can happen because it was not specified or because it was specified to be the default port of the URL's scheme), a ':', and the port of the URL.
