Parsing versus encoding a URL
Parsing identifies components. URL encoder escapes text for URL use, while URL decoder reverses percent-encoding.
Frequently asked questions about URL parser
Does parsing visit the destination?
The parser analyzes the supplied URL string; it is not a website availability test.
What if the URL is incomplete?
Missing a scheme or using invalid syntax can prevent reliable parsing.
Does it decode every query value?
Review the displayed values and use the URL decoder when percent-encoded text needs separate decoding.
Can it change the destination?
No.
Is a parsed URL necessarily safe?
No. The current interface does not provide that function.
What should I include?
Use a complete URL with its scheme when possible.
