How to Use

What Each Field Means
The URL https://user:[email protected]:8080/path?key=val#section breaks down as:
- Protocol —
https:(the scheme) - Username / Password — credentials embedded in the URL
- Host —
example.com:8080(hostname + port) - Hostname —
example.com(no port) - Port —
8080(empty if default for the scheme) - Pathname —
/path - Search —
?key=val(full query string) - Hash —
#section - Origin —
https://example.com:8080(scheme + host)
FAQ
What is a URL parser?
A URL parser breaks a URL string into its individual structural components: protocol (scheme), username, password, hostname, port, pathname, search string, hash fragment, and origin. This makes it easy to inspect and debug URLs used in APIs, links, and web applications.
Which URL components does this tool show?
Protocol, Username, Password, Host (hostname + port), Hostname, Port, Pathname, Search (full query string), Hash, Origin, and the Full URL. Query parameters are also displayed as a separate key-value table.
Does this tool send my URL to a server?
No. All parsing is done entirely in your browser using the built-in JavaScript URL API. Nothing leaves your device.
What URL formats are supported?
Any URL with a valid scheme — http, https, ftp, ws, wss, and custom protocols like myapp://. The URL must include a scheme; bare hostnames like 'example.com' without 'https://' will be flagged as invalid.
How can I use this for debugging?
Paste a URL from a browser address bar, an API response, or a log file. The tool instantly shows every component so you can verify the correct host, path, or query parameter values without writing any code.
