URL Parser

URLs have a structure: protocol, host, path, query string, hash. Parsing them programmatically is common—extracting the host, reading query parameters, or building URLs from parts. This URL Parser takes a URL and breaks it into components. Enter a URL and see protocol (https), host (example.com), path (/path/to/page), query (?key=value), and hash (#section). Useful for debugging, extracting params, and understanding URL structure. Runs in your browser.

Use it when debugging redirects, CORS, or API endpoints. "What's the host of this URL? What are the query params?"—paste and see. When building URLs in code, verify your construction produces the expected result. Parse a complex URL and inspect each part. Extract a parameter value without writing a regex. The tool handles standard URLs; edge cases (spaces, invalid chars) may show encoding or errors—helpful for fixing malformed links.

Developers use it to understand third-party URLs, check OAuth callback URLs, or validate URL format. SEO practitioners use it to inspect canonical URLs and parameter structure. The parser shows what the browser would extract: host without port in the default case, path with leading slash, query as key=value pairs where possible. For full RFC compliance, use a dedicated library; for quick checks, this suffices.

All processing is local. Your URLs are not logged or stored. Paste any URL—internal, external, with secrets in the query (be careful in shared environments). Bookmark it for quick URL dissection.
