@ngdoc service
@name $location

@requires $rootElement

@description
The $location service parses the URL in the browser address bar (based on the
[window.location](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.location)) and makes the URL
available to your application. Changes to the URL in the address bar are reflected into
$location service and changes to $location are reflected into the browser address bar.

**The $location service:**

- Exposes the current URL in the browser address bar, so you can
- Watch and observe the URL.
- Change the URL.
- Synchronizes the URL with the browser when the user
- Changes the address bar.
- Clicks the back or forward button (or clicks a History link).
- Clicks on a link.
- Represents the URL object as a set of methods (protocol, host, port, path, search, hash).

For more information see {@link guide/$location Developer Guide: Using $location}
 
@ngdoc provider
@name $locationProvider
@description
Use the `$locationProvider` to configure how the application deep linking paths are stored.
