Text tools that run in your browser
The text tools handle the small, constant chores of working with developer text: test a regular expression against real input with live highlighting, diff two versions of a config line by line, translate a cron expression into plain English with its next run times, convert identifiers between camelCase, snake_case and kebab-case, build clean URL slugs, and turn Unix timestamps into readable dates.
Each one gives an answer as you type, with no submit-and-wait round trip — because there is no server involved. Logs, tokens and proprietary snippets you paste here stay in this tab.

- How to fix “Unexpected token” in JSONUnexpected token means the parser hit illegal syntax: a trailing comma, single quotes, comments or an HTML error page. Find the exact line locally.
- How to decode a JWT (and why that isn't verifying it)Split the token on its two dots and Base64URL-decode the first two segments — no key needed. Decoding shows the claims but never verifies anything.
- UUID v4 vs v7: random or time-ordered?v4 is 122 random bits; v7 leads with a 48-bit timestamp so IDs sort by creation time (RFC 9562). v7 suits database keys, v4 hides creation time.
- Unix timestamps: seconds vs millisecondsCount the digits: 10 means seconds, 13 means milliseconds. Mixing them lands in January 1970 or the year 56637 — two bug signatures explained.
