Quick Answer & Understanding Your Result

Source: WHATWG URL Living Standard - URLSearchParams

A Query String Parser transforms URL query parameter strings (`?key=value&arr[]=1&arr[]=2`) into structured, formatted JSON key-value objects, handling percent-decoding and nested arrays.

Core Query String Parsing Capabilities

  • URL Parameter Extraction: Strips leading ? or # symbols and parses ampersand-separated pairs.
  • Percent-Decoding: Automatically decodes %20, %26, and plus signs (+) into natural plain text.
  • Array & Nested Object Handling: Automatically groups duplicate keys or bracket notations (tags[]=a&tags[]=b) into clean JSON arrays.

API & Web Analytics Applications

  • UTM Campaign Parameter Auditing: Inspecting marketing campaign tracking parameters (utm_source, utm_medium).
  • REST API Query Debugging: Inspecting received GET query parameters in API route handlers.

Paste a URL or query string above to convert parameters into JSON instantly.

Query string parsing pipeline:

  • Parses key-value pairs via WHATWG URLSearchParams API and constructs a structured JavaScript dictionary.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Paste URL or Query String

Paste full URL or parameters (e.g. ?q=react&page=2&filter=active).

2

Deterministic Query Parsing

The engine decodes parameters into a structured JSON tree in 0ms.

3

Copy Clean JSON

Copy structured JSON object for your code or API payload.
