Developer Tools

Format, decode and inspect the data formats developers deal with daily: JSON, Base64, JWT, regex, hashes, cron and timestamps. Nothing is uploaded.

What is in this section

14 tools for the formats that turn up in a terminal, a log file or a network panel: JSON, Base64, JWTs, hashes, timestamps, cron expressions, percent-encoded URLs, HTML entities, number bases and regular expressions. Each one shows its working. The JSON formatter gives the line and column of the first error rather than "invalid JSON", the JWT decoder checks expiry against your own clock, and the regex tester runs your pattern in a worker so a catastrophic backtrack cannot lock the page.

Why they run locally

A JWT is a live session. A config file has credentials in it. A stack trace has someone else's data in it. Pasting any of those into a form that posts to a server you know nothing about is a habit worth breaking, and there is no technical reason to keep it: every format on this page can be parsed by the browser you already have open.
