FAQ
- Q: What URL components does this tool parse?
- A: The tool breaks a URL into: scheme (https), host (domain + port), pathname, query string (each key-value pair shown separately), and fragment (#hash). Each component is displayed and can be copied individually.
- Q: Can I use this to edit query parameters?
- A: Yes. Inspecting the parsed query parameters makes it easy to spot typos, missing values, or encoding issues. You can then edit the original URL and re-parse it to verify the change.
- Q: What is the fragment (#) component used for?
- A: The fragment identifies an anchor or section within a page (e.g. #section-2). It is processed entirely in the browser and is never sent to the web server. It is commonly used for single-page app routing and deep links.
- Q: Does the tool handle percent-encoded characters in query strings?
- A: Yes. Percent-encoded characters (e.g. %20 for space, %2F for /) in the query string and path are decoded and shown in human-readable form alongside the raw encoded value.
- Q: Does this tool send my URL to a server?
- A: No. All parsing is performed entirely in the browser using the standard URL Web API. Your URL is never sent to any server.
