About URL parser
URL Parser breaks any URL into its individual components — protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters, and hash fragment — and displays each part clearly. Useful for debugging API endpoints, OAuth redirects, UTM links, and any complex URL during development.
When to use URL parser
- Extract and inspect query parameters from a complex redirect URL
- Debug API endpoint construction by separating path from query strings
- Parse OAuth callback URLs to extract authorization codes and state values
- Analyze UTM tracking parameters in marketing links
- Verify a URL is correctly formed before using it in code or configuration
How it works
Your input is passed to the browser's built-in URL constructor, which parses it according to the WHATWG URL Standard. Query parameters are extracted using URLSearchParams, producing a key-value listing. Invalid URLs trigger an "Invalid URL" error with a prompt to include the protocol — the most common omission.
Example
Parsed URL
Input:
https://nadhebe.com/tools/json-formatter/?mode=beautify&source=demo#workspaceOutput:
Protocol: https:
Host: nadhebe.com
Path: /tools/json-formatter/
Query:
mode: beautify
source: demo
Hash: #workspacePrivacy & security
URL parser runs entirely in your browser. No input data is uploaded to any server, stored in a database, or shared with third parties. You can use it offline once the page has loaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this tool.
Can I parse relative URLs like /tools/json-formatter/? ▼
No. The tool requires absolute URLs including the protocol (https:// or http://). Relative paths cannot be parsed without a base URL. Add your domain to make it absolute.
Does URL Parser handle percent-encoded characters? ▼
Yes. The WHATWG URL parser decodes percent-encoded characters (like %20 for space) automatically. Query parameter values are displayed in their decoded form.
Are my URLs stored anywhere? ▼
No. Parsing is entirely local using your browser's built-in URL API. Your URLs are never transmitted to any server.
What happens with malformed URLs? ▼
The tool returns an "Invalid URL" error. The most common cause is a missing protocol. Fix: add https:// to the beginning of your URL.
Is URL parser free to use? ▼
Yes. URL parser is completely free and runs locally in your browser — no account required.
Does Nadhebe upload my data? ▼
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your input data never leaves your device or gets sent to any server.
