Query String Parser
Local-first
Parse URL query strings into readable JSON and inspect repeated parameters locally.
What is Query String Parser?
Parse URL query strings into readable JSON and inspect repeated parameters locally.
- Parse full URLs or query strings
- Group repeated parameters
- Output readable JSON
How to use it
- Paste the URL query string, JSON content you want to process.
- Adjust quality, size, or output options when available.
- Run the tool to parse query strings and preview the result on the page.
- Copy the output or download the generated file when it looks right.
Best use cases
- Clean developer data during debugging, API work, and documentation.
- Clean content before saving configs, sharing snippets, or importing tables.
- Use it when privacy matters and the input should stay inside the browser.
Official standards and scope
The URL Standard defines URLSearchParams and application/x-www-form-urlencoded parsing, while RFC 3986 defines the generic URI query component. This page recognizes only an absolute URL matching scheme:// as a URL; for that case it extracts URL.search and excludes the fragment. All other input is treated as a raw query string after removing at most one leading question mark or hash. URLSearchParams then applies form-style decoding, including plus-to-space conversion and percent decoding. Repeated names become arrays, while single names become strings; values are not typed or schema-validated. Relative URLs, scheme forms without //, semicolon-separated conventions, malformed escapes, fragments in raw input, empty-name policy, and application-specific canonicalization are not separately checked. The JSON object cannot reproduce the original byte spelling or every ordering distinction, so use it for inspection rather than signing or canonical URL generation.

Notes
- Browser support for URL query string, JSON can affect preview and export behavior.
- Invalid input will show an error when possible, but the tool will not guess missing fields.
- Preview the result before using it in production, publishing, or submission workflows.
FAQ
Can it parse a full URL?
Yes. Paste a full URL or only the part after the question mark.
Is Query String Parser free to use?
Yes. You can use it directly in the browser without creating an account.
Does Query String Parser support batch processing?
Text tools usually process one pasted input at a time, so split large jobs into smaller inputs.
Are files or content uploaded?
Query String Parser runs in your browser, so your input or files are not uploaded to DataHub servers.
Can I use Query String Parser on mobile?
Yes, but desktop browsers are better for large files, batch conversion, or long text input.
Why can conversion or validation fail?
Common causes include invalid syntax, missing required fields, or invisible characters copied with the input.
Can I use the result commercially?
The tool only processes your own input. Commercial use depends on the rights of the original file or data.
