Developer & Web Utilities

Useful browser tools for structured data and web work.

Five focused utilities for JSON, Base64, URL components, UUIDs and SHA-256. Processing happens locally in your browser and no account is required.

✓ Local browser processing

JSON Formatter & Validator

Validate JSON, pretty-print it or minify it for compact transport.

Paste JSON to begin.

Base64 Encoder & Decoder

Encode UTF-8 text as Base64 or decode Base64 back to UTF-8 text.

Choose encode or decode.

URL Component Encoder & Decoder

Encode or decode text for use inside a URL component using the browser's standard URI functions.

Enter a value to begin.

This tool uses encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent; it is intended for components, not for rewriting an entire already-structured URL.

UUID v4 Generator

Generate cryptographically random version-4 UUID identifiers in your browser.

Choose how many UUIDs to generate.

SHA-256 Hash Generator

Create a SHA-256 digest from text with the browser Web Crypto API.

Enter text to generate a digest.

A cryptographic hash is one-way and is not encryption. Do not treat a plain SHA-256 password hash as a complete password-storage system.

Why keep these tools local?

Developer utilities often handle snippets, identifiers, configuration values or test data. Running the transformation in the browser avoids an unnecessary round-trip to a NexusNova server and makes the behavior easier to inspect.

Important boundaries

JSON validation checks syntax, not whether the data matches a business schema. Base64 is an encoding, not encryption. SHA-256 is a cryptographic digest, but secure password storage requires a purpose-built password hashing approach with salts and appropriate work factors. UUIDs generated here are intended as random identifiers; they are not authentication secrets.
