Developer Tools: Format, Convert & Compare Code Online

Category overview

Developer Tools

Format, validate, convert, minify and diff — the everyday utilities developers reach for.

Every developer keeps a handful of small utilities one tab away: a JSON formatter to make an API response readable, a minifier to ship smaller assets, a diff tool to see what changed. This category collects those everyday helpers in one place — no install, no extension.

They're handy whether you're debugging a payload, prepping data or reviewing a change, and they run locally so your code and data stay on your machine.

From debugging to data wrangling#

Pasting an ugly API response? The JSON formatter makes it readable and flags syntax errors. Shipping front-end assets? Minify them. Migrating data between a spreadsheet and an app? Convert CSV ⇄ JSON. Reviewing two versions of a config? The diff tool shows exactly what moved.

Tip: validating JSON before you paste it into code saves a surprising amount of debugging — the formatter catches the missing comma so you don't have to.
