About this tool

What URL Parser does

A concise, structured breakdown of a URL's components, designed for developers who need to parse, manipulate, or debug URL strings programmatically. It strips away the complexity of manual parsing to provide a clean, reliable output of the URL's components. **Input:** A single URL string (e.g., `https://dev.to/user/post` or `https://example.com/path?query=value#hash`) **Output:** A structured JSON object containing the following parsed components: - **protocol**: The protocol scheme (e.g., `http:`, `https://`, `ftp://`). - **hostname**: The domain or IP address. - **port**: The port number (default 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS). - **pathname**: The specific resource path. - **query**: An object representing the query string parameters (e.g., `?key=value`). - **hash**: The fragment identifier (the part after the `#`). **Input:** A single string representing a full URL. **Output:** A JSON object containing the parsed components. **Example Output:** { "protocol": "https:", "hostname": "example.com", "pathname": "/path/to/resource", "port": 443, "hash": "#section", "search": "?q=test" } **Input:** `https://dev.to/user/posts` **Output:** { "protocol": "https:", "hostname": "dev.to", "pathname": "/", "hash": "", "search": "?"" } **Usage Note:** This endpoint is designed for developers who need to parse and manipulate URL strings programmatically. It is ideal for parsing URLs in JavaScript environments, server-side logic, or automated testing scenarios. It is not intended for casual browsing but for developers who need to parse, manipulate, or validate URL structures prog
