How it works

URL Splitter & Parser: methodology and worked example

How this tool computes its result

Takes a URL input, optionally prepends https:// if no scheme is detected (via regex test), then passes it to the native URL constructor. If the URL parses successfully, it extracts all components: protocol, username, password, host, hostname, port, pathname, search (query string), hash (fragment), and origin, plus builds a key-value table of query parameters by iterating url.searchParams. If the URL fails to parse, it shows an error message. Credentials in the password field are masked as "***" in output, and the JSON export excludes plaintext passwords for safety.

Worked example

Entering the URL "https://www.brandarmor.ai/tools/url-splitter-parser?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic#section" parses into protocol "https:", hostname "www.brandarmor.ai", pathname "/tools/url-splitter-parser", search "?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic", hash "#section", and a query table with two rows: {key: "utm_source", value: "google"} and {key: "utm_medium", value: "organic"}. Entering a bare domain "example.com/path" auto-prepends https:// to become "https://example.com/path" before parsing.

When not to use this tool

The native URL constructor only accepts fully formed URLs — it cannot parse relative paths like "/path/to/page" or "../parent" without a base URL. Also, certain legacy or non-standard URL schemes (e.g., ftp://edge cases, custom protocols) may be accepted by the constructor but produce unexpected hostname/pathname splits.

Common mistakes

- Pasting a relative URL without a hostname (e.g., "/path/to/page") — the auto-prepend of https:// results in "https:///path/to/page", which throws "Invalid URL" because there is no hostname.
- Expecting URL-encoded query parameters to be automatically decoded — the query table shows the decoded key-value pairs (since URLSearchParams decodes them), but if you need the literal encoded form with %20 or %26, the raw search string is still shown separately.
- Assuming the password field in the parsed output contains your actual password — it does (but is hidden as "***" in the UI); do not share the JSON export of a URL that contains credentials.
