Parsing a URL (as a string) and splicing each sub-page into an array

Given the url (string) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask, how could I split it up into an array that contains data like the following: questions,ask. How would I make this work for an infinite amount of slashes?

The way I am thinking of doing it would be to use URL.parse in Node.JS and then use STRING.split('/') to separate the string into an array.

Would this be the correct way to do it? Is there a quicker way?

To the best of my knowledge, that is the best way to do it. Alternatively you could just ignore the first parts of the split:

URL_STRING.split('/').slice(3)
