Essential tools for developers
The online utilities every developer uses daily: JSON, Base64, UUID and more.

The digital toolbox
Every developer has that folder of small programmes, scripts or websites saved in their favourites that they use practically every day. They are small tools, but they save a huge amount of time: formatting JSON, compressing it, converting text to Base64, generating identifiers...
At Forja we have gathered the most useful ones in a single place, with a clear focus: they work fast, with no data sent to external servers.
Formatting and validating JSON
JSON is the go-to data exchange format. When an API returns an unformatted object, it is practically unreadable. With a JSON formatter you can indent, validate and compress in seconds.
Our online JSON formatter validates your content in real time and instantly tells you if it is valid or if there is a syntax error.
Base64 for developers
Base64 is an encoding system that converts binary data into ASCII text. It is used to embed images in CSS, transmit data in HTTP headers or encode basic credentials. Having a Base64 encoder/decoder on hand is essential.
Generating UUIDs and GUIDs
When you work with databases and need unique keys, or when generating idempotent API requests, generating UUIDs is a constant operation. Being able to create them in bulk, in the format you need (v4 or v7) and copy them with a single click makes all the difference.
