Rune pro tipsPro Tips

  • The fragment (#hash) is never sent to the server, it's only used by the browser for in-page navigation.
  • Default ports (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS) are typically omitted from URLs but the parser will show them.
  • Query parameters after the ? are key=value pairs separated by &. The parser shows them in a table.
  • Subdomains like 'www' or 'blog' appear before the main domain name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers about URL Parser

Why does my URL fail to parse?

Check for a missing protocol, invalid spaces, unescaped characters, malformed query strings, or relative paths that need a base URL.

What is the difference between hostname and domain?

The hostname includes subdomains (www.example.com) while the domain is just the registered name (example.com). The TLD is the extension (.com).

Is the URL sent to Rune for parsing?

URL parsing uses browser APIs. The entered URL is not uploaded to Rune for parsing.

What is a query string?

A query string is the part of a URL after the ? mark. It contains key=value pairs separated by & that pass data to the server or application.

What is the origin?

The origin is the combination of protocol + hostname + port (e.g., https://example.com:443). It's used by browsers for same-origin security policies.

Can I parse relative URLs?

This tool works best with absolute URLs that include a protocol. Relative URLs like '/page' don't contain enough information for full parsing.

Why is my query parameter value split wrong?

Unencoded ampersands, equals signs, or spaces inside parameter values can break parsing. Encode parameter values before adding them to a URL.

What is a TLD?

TLD stands for Top-Level Domain, it's the last part of a domain name like .com, .org, .net, or .io. Country-code TLDs include .uk, .de, .jp, etc. The parser extracts this automatically from any URL.
