HTTP Header Parser
Parse a header string into key-value form.
Category: Dev Tools
When to use?
Use it to organize a header list copied from the browser network tab or API docs into a JSON object.
How to use
- Paste headers, one per line.
- It splits key and value by the colon.
- Copy the JSON result.
Input Explanation
Enter colon-separated header lines like Content-Type: application/json.
Calculation Basis
It splits each line's header name and value at the first colon and serializes them into a JSON object.
Usage Examples
- Organize request headers - Make a headers object for API testing.
- Quick pre-deploy check - Check inputs and output to reduce errors before dev/ops work.
- Aid docs/reviews - Copy the result into dev docs, issues, or review comments.
Examples
- Authorization: Bearer token → {"Authorization":"Bearer token"}
- Paste several response headers to split into a key-value object
Cautions
- Generated output is for reference; test carefully before production use.
- Header parsing runs only in the browser and is not sent out.
