Overview
Developer Tools tools on SmarTool Palace are grouped around one purpose: helping users speed up everyday developer checks with browser-based utilities. The category includes JSON Formatter, CSV / JSON, Epoch Converter, Hash Generator, SQL Formatter, Code Minifier, and additional focused utilities, with each page pairing the working tool with practical notes about inputs, checks, and limitations.
Choose the utility that matches the final output you need first, then check whether the page asks for a file, value, URL, date, location, or live lookup. If a task affects money, health, legal deadlines, publishing quality, or official documents, use the result as a reviewed estimate and confirm it with the relevant professional, authority, or source.
Developer output should be tested in the target environment before production use.
Best uses and checks
- Validate JSON before sending it to an API.
- Generate a UUID or QR code during testing.
- Inspect hashes, encodings, headers, or DNS records.
Common mistakes
- Pasting secrets into a shared machine.
- Using generated mock data as production data.
- Assuming browser-side validation replaces server-side validation.
JSON Formatter
Use the JSON formatter to make compact JSON readable, identify structure problems, and prepare data for debugging. It is designed to make the task understandable, not just clickable.
The tool parses the JSON text and reprints it with indentation. Invalid JSON surfaces an error instead of silently changing the content.
