URL parser
Break down any URL into its scheme, host, path, query parameters, and fragment.
In short
Break a URL into its individual components — scheme, host, path, query string, and fragment.
What Is URL Parser?
URL Parser splits a URL into its component parts and displays them individually: the scheme (https), host (example.com), path (/articles/guide), query string (?id=1), and fragment (#section).
When to Parse a URL
Complex URLs with multiple query parameters and fragments can be difficult to read at a glance. Parsing them makes it easy to inspect each part in isolation.
URL parsing is also useful when debugging redirect chains, checking UTM parameters, verifying canonical URLs, or inspecting API endpoint paths.
Best For
- Developers inspecting API endpoints and query parameters
- SEO teams checking URL structure and canonical paths
- Marketers verifying UTM parameters in tracking links
- QA teams validating URL construction in applications
Limitations of this tool
- The tool parses the URL as a string — it does not fetch the URL or verify that it resolves.
Frequently asked questions
- What parts of a URL does it parse?
- Scheme (http/https), host (domain and subdomain), port, path, query string (as key-value pairs), and fragment (the # section identifier).
- Does it decode encoded characters?
- Yes. URL-encoded characters (%20, %2F, etc.) are decoded and displayed in their plain-text form alongside the raw encoded value.
- What is a URL fragment?
- The fragment is the part of a URL after the # symbol. It identifies a specific section of a page and is not sent to the server — it is resolved by the browser.
