Use the backend parser for URLs and get rid of frontend parser.
As far as I know there is no frontend parser.
Indeed, there is no front-end parser for URLs. Currently, URLs fall back to the string parser. Due to that, the value is kind of always valid (save button enabled). Errors will not be visible before trying to save the value which involves parsing the value in the back-end.
