URL Parser
Parse a URL into its parts, protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters and fragment, using the browser's native URL parser.
About this tool
Parse a URL into its parts, protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters and fragment, using the browser's native URL parser.
Example
Input: https://example.com:8080/p?q=1#s
Output: Host: example.com:8080, Path: /p, Query: ?q=1
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your data is processed locally and never uploaded to a server.
How to use this tool
- Paste a full URL into the input field, including the scheme such as https://.
- Click parse to let the tool split the URL into its parts.
- Read the results for protocol, hostname, port, path, query parameters, and fragment.
- Copy the pieces you need for debugging, documentation, or code.
Step by step, what happens
- The tool sends your URL to the browser's native URL parser instead of guessing the parts by hand.
- It reads the parsed result and separates the URL into scheme, host, port, path, query, and fragment.
- If the query string contains multiple parameters, it breaks them into key value pairs for easier inspection.
- It then shows the parsed components clearly so you can verify exactly how the browser understands the URL.
Worked example
Suppose you want to check how the browser parses a product page URL with one query parameter and a fragment.
Input: https://example.com:8080/products/view?item=book#details
- The tool parses the URL and identifies https as the protocol, example.com as the hostname, and 8080 as the port.
- It separates the path as /products/view, the query parameter as item=book, and the fragment as details.
Output: protocol: https
hostname: example.com
port: 8080
path: /products/view
query: item=book
fragment: details
Tips and common mistakes
- Always include the scheme, because browser URL parsing is most reliable when the URL starts with http:// or https://.
- Use the full path if you want to confirm routing issues, because a missing or extra slash changes what the parser shows.
- Check the query parameters carefully when debugging links, since repeated keys or encoded values can look different after parsing.
- Remember that the fragment is the part after # and is not sent to the server, so it is useful for page state and anchors only.
