Configuration Converter & JWT Toolkit Upgrades

What's New in Kitly!

This update introduces a brand new Configuration Converter tool to Kitly to simplify application configuration translations, alongside major reliability upgrades to the JWT Toolkit.

New: Configuration Converter Tool

The Configuration Converter is a dedicated side-by-side utility built for developers who need to translate configuration formats quickly and accurately. Here's what it brings:

  1. Full 3-Way Conversions
    Convert between JSON (appsettings), XML (web.config), and YAML in any direction. All 6 conversion pathways are supported natively.
  2. Intelligent XML Flattening & Preservation
    When converting XML configurations (like web.config), key-value settings in <appSettings> and connection string properties under <connectionStrings> are automatically flattened into clean key-value structures. All other legacy and IIS-level configuration nodes (such as <system.web>, <system.webServer>, rewrite rules, and attributes) are preserved recursively, ensuring no settings are lost.
  3. Dual-Theme Code Editors
    Equipped with dual side-by-side CodeMirror code panels supporting line numbers, syntax highlighting, and formatting. Toggle between light and dark themes to match your workspace aesthetics.
  4. Upload, Copy, and Download
    Upload your configuration files directly into the editor, copy results to your clipboard with a single click, or download the converted files with the correct extension (.json, .xml, .yaml).

Improved: JWT Toolkit Robustness

We've resolved several issues with the JWT Toolkit parser to ensure a smoother, error-free debugging experience:

  • Auto-Strip Headers: The parser now automatically strips the "Bearer " prefix if copy-pasted with your token.
  • Whitespace & Formatting Handling: Trailing/leading spacing, newlines, and carriage returns are cleaned up automatically so base64url decoding never fails.
  • Error Validation: If a pasted token is invalid, the tool now outputs clear, inline error messages explaining what went wrong instead of failing silently.
