#env

Convert between .env (dotenv) files and JSON, in both directions. The parse endpoint reads .env text into a clean JSON object: it skips blank lines and # comments, honours an optional leading export, unquotes single- and double-quoted values (interpreting \n, \t and \" escapes inside double quotes), strips inline comments after unquoted values, supports values that span several lines inside quotes, and can optionally expand ${VAR} and $VAR references against the variables already defined earlier in the same file — while leaving single-quoted values strictly literal. The stringify endpoint turns a JSON object back into a valid .env file, quoting only the values that actually need it and optionally prefixing every line with export for shell sourcing. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private — your secrets never leave the request. Ideal for config tooling and migrations, CI/CD pipelines, converting .env to JSON for apps that want structured config (and back), and validating environment files. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This handles the dotenv format; for INI files with [sections] use an INI API, and for YAML or TOML use those APIs.
