Frequently Asked Questions
What are URL components? expand_more
A URL consists of protocol (https), hostname (example.com), port, pathname (/path), query string (?key=value), and hash (#section).
Can I parse query parameters? expand_more
Yes! The tool extracts all query parameters into a readable key-value format for easy analysis.
Is this useful for debugging? expand_more
Absolutely! Quickly inspect complex URLs from APIs, analytics, or redirects to understand their structure.
What is URL encoding in parsed output? expand_more
The [URL Parser](/tools/url-parser/) shows decoded values. Encoded characters like %20 are displayed as spaces for readability. Original encoding is preserved in raw output.
Can I parse complex query strings? expand_more
Yes! Multiple parameters like ?id=1&name=test&type=active are parsed individually. Even URL-encoded values are shown clearly.
What is the hash component? expand_more
The hash (also called fragment) appears after # in URLs. It identifies specific sections within a page and doesn't require server request when changed.
Does it parse subdomains? expand_more
Yes! Subdomains like api.example.com are shown in the hostname component. The [URL Parser](/tools/url-parser/) separates domain, subdomain, and TLD clearly.
How do I use parsed data? expand_more
Copy individual components (protocol, hostname, path, or query parameters) for use in code, configuration files, or API documentation. The parser makes complex URLs manageable.
