URL Parser

The URL Parser is a developer utility that breaks down any valid URL into its individual components, including the protocol, hostname, port, pathname, query string parameters, and hash fragment. Instead of manually dissecting a URL or writing throwaway code to inspect it, you can paste any URL and instantly see a structured, readable breakdown of every part.

This tool is especially useful when debugging API endpoints, inspecting redirect chains, or verifying that a URL is constructed correctly before using it in production. Whether you're working with complex query strings containing multiple parameters or tracking down an unexpected hash value, the URL Parser gives you a clear, organized view of the full URL structure at a glance.

Using the URL Parser is straightforward: paste any complete URL into the input field and the tool immediately parses it into labeled components. The output typically includes the protocol (e.g., https:), hostname (e.g., example.com), port if specified, the full pathname, each individual query parameter as a key-value pair, and the hash fragment. No need to hit a submit button — the breakdown updates in real time as you type or paste.

The query parameters section is particularly powerful. Instead of reading a raw query string like ?sort=asc&page=2&filter=active, you'll see each parameter listed on its own line with its decoded key and value clearly separated. This makes it easy to spot missing values, duplicate keys, or encoding issues at a glance.

Keep in mind that the URL must include a valid protocol (such as http:// or https://) for the parser to work correctly. Relative URLs or paths without a protocol may not parse as expected. URLs containing encoded characters will display the raw encoded form in the appropriate fields — use a URL decoder if you need to see the fully decoded version of those values.
