Usage Guide & Tech FAQ

Usage Guide

  1. Paste/upload your data file or raw content.
  2. Select target format (JSON/TS/Java/Go/CSV, etc.).
  3. Run conversion and verify field mapping and types.
  4. Copy the result to your dev workflow.
  5. Sample large files first to validate mappings before generating huge outputs.
  6. Add manual narrowing for dates, enums, and nullable fields in target languages.
  7. Watch CSV delimiters, quoting, and BOM—Excel exports often hide odd characters.
  8. Remember JSON `null` vs missing keys map differently to structs.
  9. Break cyclic `$ref`/schemas manually when tools cannot unfold them.
  10. Run compile/lint on generated code—output is a starting point, not guaranteed production-ready.
  11. Read the title and description first to confirm this utility matches your task (avoid using the wrong tool and misinterpreting output).
  12. Paste or type input in the editor; if a sample/template is provided, load it first to learn the expected output shape.

  • Parsing infers types and nesting from your input structure.
  • Format mismatches may lead to type inference differences.
  • Outputs are editable and reusable for further steps.
  • Invalid input structure usually triggers an error hint.
  • Stringy numbers vs real numbers are a classic inference pitfall—add schemas.
  • Homogeneous arrays with occasional outliers force overly generic types—rename or split models.
  • YAML anchors need expansion when targeting JSON; not every YAML 1.2 feature is supported everywhere.
  • Choose interfaces vs classes vs type aliases in TS based on extensibility needs.
  • Keep JSON field naming strategy (camel vs snake) aligned with Go/Java tags.
  • Browser memory limits make giant conversions unsuitable—use streaming CLI tools instead.
  • Core parsing and computation run in your browser; by default your raw business payload is not persisted to this site’s servers (see on-page privacy notes).
  • The pipeline is typically: read input → parse (lexical/syntactic/structured) → transform → render; failures aim to be diagnosable.
