URL Parser

Break any URL into scheme, host, path, query params, and fragment with a single paste.

Break down URLs into their component parts: scheme (protocol), host (domain), port, path, query parameters, and fragment. Analyze URL structure, extract individual components, and understand how URLs are constructed. Essential for web development, API integration, routing configuration, and debugging URL-related issues.

What is URL Parser?

A URL parser analyzes a Uniform Resource Locator and breaks it down into its constituent parts according to the URL standard (RFC 3986). Each component serves a specific purpose: the scheme defines the protocol, the host identifies the server, the path specifies the resource location, query parameters pass data, and the fragment points to a specific section.

Common Use Cases

  • Extracting query parameters from URLs for processing
  • Debugging routing issues in web applications
  • Analyzing URL structure for SEO purposes
  • Parsing URLs in API integrations
  • Understanding deep link structures
  • Extracting domain information from URLs
  • Validating URL structure before use

How It Works

The URL parser uses the browser's built-in URL API to parse the input string according to web standards. It identifies each component: the scheme (http, https, etc.), authority (userinfo, host, port), path, query string (parsed into key-value pairs), and fragment. The tool displays each component separately, making it easy to understand the URL structure and extract specific values.

Examples

Parsing a complete URL with all components

Input:
https://example.com:8080/path/to/resource?key1=value1&key2=value2#section
Output:
Scheme: https, Host: example.com, Port: 8080, Path: /path/to/resource, Query: key1=value1&key2=value2, Fragment: section

Parsing a URL with query parameters

Input:
https://api.example.com/users?page=1&limit=10&sort=name
Output:
Query parameters: page=1, limit=10, sort=name
