URL Parser

Parse any URL into its individual components — protocol, host, port, path, query parameters, and fragment — with encoding and decoding.

How It Works

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) follows a standardized structure defined by RFC 3986. Each component serves a specific purpose:

scheme://user:pass@hostname:port/path?query=value#fragment
  |         |         |      |    |       |          |
protocol  auth      host   port  path   query     fragment

Components

Protocol (Scheme): Defines how the resource is accessed (e.g., https, ftp, mailto).
Auth: Optional username and password for authentication (rarely used in modern URLs).
Hostname: The domain name or IP address of the server.
Port: The network port (defaults: 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS).
Path: Hierarchical path to the resource on the server.
Query String: Key-value pairs after ?, separated by &.
Fragment: A reference to a section within the resource, following #.

URL Encoding

Special characters in URLs must be percent-encoded (e.g., a space becomes %20). This tool supports both encodeURI (preserves URL structure characters like /, ?, #) and encodeURIComponent (encodes everything except letters, digits, and - _ . ~).
