Text manipulation is one of the most underrated developer workflows. Renaming variables, normalizing content, cleaning up pasted data — these small tasks add up, and doing them by hand is error-prone and slow.
What Is the URL Parser?
URL Parser is one of the tools in WebdevToolbox’s Text Tools category. Parse any URL into its components: protocol, host, path, query params, and hash. It runs entirely in your browser — no server uploads, no accounts, no waiting.
