Connection String Parser

Parse database and service connection strings into their individual components. Supports PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, AMQP, and any URI-style connection string. Extracts protocol, username, password, host, port, database name, and query parameters. Runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your machine.

All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

How It Works

Paste a connection string (e.g., postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db?sslmode=require) and the parser breaks it into individual components: protocol, username, password, host, port, database, and query parameters. Supports any URI-style connection string format.

Features

  • Multi-protocol support: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, AMQP, and any protocol://… format
  • Component extraction: protocol, username, password, host, port, database, query params
  • Percent-decoding: correctly decodes URL-encoded characters in credentials
  • IPv6 support: handles bracketed IPv6 addresses
  • Password toggle: show/hide password for security
  • Query parameter table: displays all connection options in a clean table
  • 5 preset examples: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, MySQL, AMQP
  • Private: all parsing runs in your browser — no data transmitted

Use Cases

  • Debugging database connection issues by inspecting connection string components
  • Verifying credentials and host/port configuration before deployment
  • Converting between connection string formats for different database drivers
  • Documentation and onboarding — understanding what each part of a connection string means
  • Security auditing — checking what credentials and options are embedded in connection strings
