URL Parser Guide
Reference for splitting URLs into protocol, host, port, path, query string, fragment, and decoded debugging notes.
Quick answer
Use the URL Parser to split a complete URL into protocol, host, port, path, query, and fragment.
What this tool does
The tool helps inspect URLs copied from logs, bug reports, campaigns, redirects, and API examples. It does not open or fetch the URL.
Supported input
- Complete URLs with protocol
- Hostname and port
- Path
- Query string
- Fragment
- Copy-ready parsed JSON output
Data handling and processing behavior
Processing is handled in the browser for this tool based on the current public implementation. Avoid entering private signed URLs or tokens unless you have reviewed the implementation and your own data handling requirements.
Step-by-step use
- Paste the complete URL
- Review protocol, host, and path
- Inspect query and fragment values
- Copy the parsed output if needed
- Decode or parse query parameters separately when needed
Common errors
Missing protocol. Use a complete URL such as https://example.com/path.
Confusing query and fragment. Fragments normally stay in the browser and are not sent in HTTP requests.
Assuming reachability. Parsing a URL does not prove that the page exists.
Limits
The parser splits text locally. It does not fetch the URL, follow redirects, or judge whether the destination is safe.
