Every modern deployment environment has a different config format. Local development uses .env files loaded by dotenv. Docker Compose reads them directly. Kubernetes expects secrets as JSON or YAML manifests. CI pipelines like GitHub Actions accept YAML key-value blocks. Moving secrets and settings between these formats by hand is tedious and error-prone. This tool handles the conversion in both directions: paste a .env file and get clean JSON or YAML, or paste a JSON config and get a .env file you can source directly. The parser handles the real-world edge cases that trip up naive converters: lines starting with the export keyword, values wrapped in single or double quotes, double-quoted values with escape sequences like \n and \t, empty values, and inline comments after values. Nested JSON and YAML objects are flattened to PARENT__CHILD keys using a double-underscore delimiter, and the reverse direction expands them back.
Nested JSON or YAML objects flatten to keys like PARENT__CHILD by default (double underscore delimiter). The reverse direction expands them back. This matches the convention used by many frameworks for hierarchical config in environment variables.
Comments in .env files are read and then discarded during parsing. JSON and YAML have no equivalent inline comment position, so they cannot be carried into structured output.
Yes. Single and double quotes are stripped from values. Inside double-quoted values, standard escape sequences like \n, \t, and \\ are expanded, matching the behavior of the dotenv specification.
Yes. The export prefix is recognized and dropped. Keys with and without the prefix are treated identically.
No. Parsing and conversion run entirely client-side. This matters because .env files often contain API keys, database passwords, and other secrets that should never be sent to a third-party server.
