Developer tools that stay on your machine
These utilities run on every keystroke, in your browser, with no server round trip. That makes them fast, and it means a JWT, a hash input or a config you paste here is never transmitted anywhere.
How the developer tools work
Small utilities for the moments in a working day when you need an answer, not a library: format and validate JSON, test a regular expression against real text, read a JWT, turn a cron expression into plain words and upcoming run times, encode Base64 and URLs, make hashes, UUIDs and passwords, convert Unix timestamps and colours, and tidy SQL, XML, HTML and CSS.
They run in your browser on every keystroke, with no server round trip, so the result is there as you type and the tools keep working offline. It also means that a token, a password, a config file or a customer record you paste is never transmitted. The one tool that has to use the network says so on its page: What is my IP asks our server which address you are connecting from.
There is no account, no sign-up and no daily limit on these tools. Pro exists for the file tools on the other Nouplo sites; nothing on this one needs it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it safe to paste a real JWT or API response here?
- The decoding and formatting run in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent to Nouplo or anyone else. A live token is still a credential, though, so treat it like a password and avoid shared computers. Note that JWT Decoder reads the header and claims but does not verify the signature; that needs the issuer’s key and belongs on your server.
- Why is my JSON invalid?
- The usual causes are a trailing comma, single quotes instead of double quotes, a comment, or a value cut off when it was copied. JSON Formatter points to the line and column where parsing stopped, and JSON diff shows what changed between two versions once both are valid.
- How do I check what a cron expression does before I deploy it?
- Paste it into Cron Parser: it says in words when the job runs and lists the next run times, so a 0 */6 * * 1-5 that you meant for weekends is caught before it fires. Cron expression generator builds one from a few choices if you would rather not write it by hand.
- Are the passwords and hashes made here secure?
- Password generator draws from your browser’s cryptographic random generator, not Math.random, and the passwords are never transmitted. Hash Generator computes MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-2 on your device. MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for checksums but not for storing passwords; use a slow, salted algorithm such as bcrypt or Argon2id on your server for that, and bcrypt hash checker to test a hash against a password.
- How do I convert a Unix timestamp to a date?
- Timestamp Converter takes an epoch value in seconds or milliseconds, or a date, and shows it in UTC, in your local time and as ISO 8601. A timestamp with 13 digits is in milliseconds, one with 10 is in seconds.
