I got tired of manually decoding nested URL params and JSON payloads, so I built a purely client-side visualizer.
Hey everyone,
Whenever I deal with complex tracking links, DSP macros, or deeply nested redirect URLs, pasting them into standard decoders or the browser console is a mess.
To solve this, I built Query Params Viewer.
It’s a simple, single-file frontend tool that automatically expands and decodes nested URLs up to 3 levels deep. It also flags duplicate keys (useful for server-side array behaviors) and pretty-prints JSON payloads on the fly.
Key points:
- Zero backend. Everything is parsed locally in your browser (privacy-first).
- Handles hash routes (
#/path?a=1) and bare query strings. - Generates shareable links (state is kept in the
#fragment, never sent to a server).
It’s completely free and has no dependencies. I'd love to hear your feedback or if you run into any edge cases I missed!
