cURL Command Parser
About cURL Command Parser
cURL Command Parser turns a pasted command into a structured request summary without invoking a shell, reading referenced files or sending network traffic.
How it works
Text-only shell tokenization
Single quotes, double quotes, escapes and backslash line continuations are recognized only to recover arguments. Variables, substitutions, globs, redirects and shell operators are never evaluated.
Request option extraction
Common short and long options for methods, URLs, headers, data, JSON, basic authentication, cookies and output files become typed JSON fields. Unknown flags remain visible for review.
Credential-safe preview
Authorization, cookies, API-key headers and basic-auth passwords are replaced with a fixed marker by default. Redaction can be disabled when the full local value is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Will this run the cURL command?
No. The command is parsed as plain text. No process, shell, file read or HTTP request is created.
Does it support every cURL option?
It extracts the most useful request fields and preserves unrecognized flags in an explicit list rather than guessing their meaning.
What happens to --data @file.json?
The @file.json token is shown literally. The browser never reads the referenced file automatically.
