How to Use Query String Parser

What is Query String Parser?

Query String Parser breaks down URL query strings into individual key-value pairs and lets you build query strings from structured data in the opposite direction. It handles percent-encoded values, array parameter notation (param[]=value), nested object notation, and repeated keys with multiple values. Web developers rely on this tool to understand complex API request URLs, extract specific parameters, and construct well-formed query strings without manual encoding. The parser follows the application/x-www-form-urlencoded specification and optionally supports extended syntax used by popular server frameworks.

Features

How do I use Query String Parser?

Paste a full URL or just the query string portion beginning after the question mark into the input field and click Parse. Each parameter is displayed as a separate key-value row with its decoded value shown clearly. You can edit parameter names and values in the table and click Build to regenerate the encoded query string with all changes applied. Filter or search across parameters when dealing with long query strings containing dozens of keys.
