Why Browser-Based Developer Tools?
As a developer, you constantly need to format JSON, encode strings, generate hashes, or create UUIDs. While you could install CLI tools or IDE extensions, browser-based tools offer unique advantages:
- Zero installation – Works on any computer with a browser
- Cross-platform – Same experience on Windows, Mac, or Linux
- Always available – No need to set up your dev environment
- Privacy-first – Many process data locally without server uploads
- Shareable – Bookmark and share with your team

JSON Formatter: Your Daily Companion
If there's one tool every developer uses daily, it's a JSON formatter. Arrow One's JSON Formatter does more than just beautify:
- Validates JSON syntax and shows line-specific errors
- Formats minified JSON with proper indentation
- Minifies formatted JSON for production use
- Works entirely in your browser—no data sent to servers
Text Comparison & Diff Checking
Need to compare two versions of a configuration file or API response? Our Diff Checker highlights additions, deletions, and changes line by line.
Security & Encoding Tools
Hash Generation
Hash functions are essential for password storage, data integrity, and checksums. The Hash Generator creates:
- MD5 – Fast, widely used for checksums (not for passwords)
- SHA-1 – 160-bit hash, deprecated for security
- SHA-256 – Secure, recommended for most uses
- SHA-512 – Maximum security for sensitive data
Base64 Encoding
Base64 encoding is everywhere in web development—embedding images in CSS, handling binary data in JSON, and basic authentication headers. Our encoder handles:
- Text to Base64 encoding
- Base64 to text decoding
- Proper UTF-8 character handling
Text Utilities
Case Converter
Quickly transform text between different cases: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, camelCase, snake_case, and kebab-case. Perfect for normalizing variable names or formatting content.
Word & Character Counter
Track your content length with real-time word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts. Useful for:
- README documentation
- Form field validation testing
- Content with character limits
