What it does
Break a URL into its pieces — protocol, host, port, path, query, fragment — just like the browser's URL API but laid out as a readable table. Also shows each query parameter decoded in its own row so you can spot encoding issues.
For query-string-only work use query string parser. For UTM tags specifically, UTM parser. To strip tracking, URL cleaner.
