URL Parser
URL Parser is a free browser tool that lets you break a url into all its parts. Parsing, formatting and validation all run in your browser, so API keys, tokens and internal payloads are never transmitted. It is used most by DevOps staff reading config and log data quickly. Follows the published specification rather than a loose approximation. It stays free with unlimited use, and there is no watermark on anything it produces.
Key features
- Follows the published specification rather than a loose approximation.
- Reports the line and position of a syntax error instead of failing silently.
- Works on desktop, tablet and phone — no separate app to install.
- Built to do one job properly rather than twenty jobs badly.
How to use URL Parser
- Paste your input: Drop the payload, code or value into the box above.
- Run it: Press the action button — errors are reported with their position.
- Take the output: Copy the result, or download it when the output is a file.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use it at work? — Yes, and the local-only processing is usually what makes it acceptable under a company data policy.
- Is it safe to paste production data into URL Parser? — Yes. URL Parser runs entirely in your browser — no request is made, nothing is logged, and nothing persists after you close the tab.
- What happens with invalid input? — You get the position of the problem rather than a blank failure, so it is usable as a validator.
- How large an input can it take? — Several megabytes is routine. The limit is your browser's memory, not a server quota.
