Params Editor is an extension built to simplify how developers, QA testers, & technical professionals work with URL query params. It intelligently detects param types and provides dedicated input controls for each - from simple text to complex JSON objects
As a developer, I frequently found myself wasting time manually editing URL parameters during development and testing. This process was not only tedious but also error-prone. While existing tools offered basic URL editing capabilities, they lacked specialized inputs for different data types, making them only marginally better than directly modifying URLs in the address bar. This was particularly frustrating when working with complex parameters.
Params Editor was born from this frustration. I created it to provide a more intelligent approach to URL parameter manipulation, with a strong focus on developer productivity and a polished user experience. By automatically detecting parameter types and providing appropriate input controls, it eliminates the common pain points developers face when working with URL parameters.
The extension offers a clean, user-friendly interface that helps you quickly:
- View and edit any URL's query parameters with smart input controls
- Add new parameters with auto-detected types
- Search through parameters for quick access
- Apply changes instantly to your active tab
- Remove existing parameters
Unlike basic URL editors, Params Editor provides dedicated inputs for each data type:
- Full JSON editors for complex data structures
- Date pickers for date strings
- List editors for comma-separated values
- Number inputs with step controls
- Toggle switches for boolean values
- Text fields for strings
