Dev Update: Introducing Code Tools & Enhanced Text Utilities

Separation of Concerns: A Better Workflow

In today's update, we have reorganized our utility suite to better serve developers and data engineers. We realized that simple string manipulation (like casing) and complex data transformation (like JSON/XML) belong in different toolboxes.

1. New App: Code Tools

We are excited to launch Code Tools, a dedicated environment for developers. This app handles high-fidelity data transformations that require server-side processing.

• JSON to C# Classes: Paste a JSON object and instantly get a ready-to-use C# POCO class. It uses recursive inference to handle nested objects and arrays correctly.
• Interoperability: Seamlessly convert between JSON and XML. We handle the edge cases, including attribute stripping and sanitization.
• JSONL Support: For AI and Big Data workflows, you can now "Wrap" and "Unwrap" arrays into JSON Lines format.

2. Upgraded Text Toolkit

The Text Converter has been rebranded to the Text Toolkit. With JSON logic moved to its own home, this tool is now 100% focused on string manipulation.

New Features:

• Slugify: Turn "Hello World!" into "hello-world" instantly—perfect for SEO and file naming.
• Line Operations: Sort lists A-Z or reverse them instantly.
• Cleaners: Strip HTML tags and remove excess whitespace with a single click.
• Encoders: Added URL Encode/Decode alongside the existing Base64 tools.

3. Patch Notes

• Date Calculator: Fixed a logic issue in the "Add/Subtract" mode. You can now explicitly toggle between Adding and Subtracting days, ensuring accurate past-date calculations without needing to type negative numbers.
