Tool guide
Free Online URL Parser
Parse an absolute URL into protocol, hostname, port, pathname, query string, hash, and origin with the browser URL API. This URL inspector reports structure only and does not visit, validate the safety of, or test the destination.
Steps
How it works
- Paste a complete absolute URL including its scheme.
- Run the URL parser in your browser.
- Review the structured URL components as JSON.
- Copy the result or download the parsed JSON file.
Highlights
Key features
- Extracts protocol, hostname, explicit or default port status, pathname, query string, hash, and origin.
- Uses the browser's standards-based URL constructor.
- Handles percent-encoded URL structure according to browser parsing behavior.
- Returns readable formatted JSON.
- Provides copy and JSON download actions.
Use cases
Common uses
- Inspect the parts of an API or website URL.
- Separate a route path from its query string and fragment.
- Check whether a port was explicitly supplied.
- Prepare parsed URL fixture data for development.
Notes
Limitations to know
- Relative paths are rejected because no base URL is supplied.
- Username and password fields and individually decoded search parameters are not included in the output.
- Successful parsing means syntactic acceptance by the URL API, not that the destination exists or is safe.
- The tool performs no network request, DNS lookup, reputation check, redirect trace, or security analysis.
- Internationalized domains and encoded components follow browser URL serialization rules.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which URL parts are extracted?
Protocol, hostname, port, pathname, query string, hash, and origin are returned.
Are relative URLs supported?
No. Enter an absolute URL such as https://example.com/path.
Can I view decoded query parameters?
URL Parser returns the complete query string. Use Query String Parser for decoded key-value entries.
What happens with an invalid URL?
The browser URL constructor rejects it and the tool asks for a valid absolute URL.
Does URL Parser validate or visit a website?
No. It parses URL syntax only and does not make a network request or assess safety.
