URL Parser
Free online URL parser tool, breakdown URL components
What is URL Parsing?
URL parsing breaks down a URL into its component parts: protocol (https:), hostname (example.com), port (443), pathname (/path), search parameters (?key=value), and hash fragment (#section). Understanding URL structure is essential for web development, debugging, and building APIs.
How to Parse a URL
Paste a full URL into the input field. The tool instantly displays all components: protocol, hostname, port, pathname, search string, hash, and a table of decoded query parameters. Edit the URL to see how components change.
▶What is a URL query string?
The query string is the part of a URL after the ? character. It contains key-value pairs separated by &. For example, ?name=John&age=30 has two parameters.
▶What is the difference between search params and hash?
Search params (?key=value) are sent to the server. The hash/fragment (#section) is only used by the browser for client-side navigation and is not sent to the server.
▶Can I parse URLs with encoded characters?
Yes, the parser automatically decodes percent-encoded characters in the URL components and query parameters.
