Are my private API keys and database passwords safe?

Yes, 100%. The conversion occurs solely within your browser memory; no data is logged or transmitted.

How does it handle lines with export prefixes?

Lines starting with "export " are automatically recognized and the prefix is stripped before parsing.

What happens to comments in the .env file?

Lines starting with # are treated as comments and excluded from the resulting JSON dictionary.

Can this convert string numbers into real numbers?

Yes! Toggling the "Auto Cast Types" option casts strings like "8080" to 8080 and "true" to true.

Can I use the output in Kubernetes ConfigMaps or AWS Secrets Manager?

Yes! The JSON output is formatted specifically for easy import into AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager, and Kubernetes Secret manifests.
