API Tools

This page brings together five tools for preparing and understanding API exchanges. JWT reader, Build an HTTP request and JSON Schema Generator are part of this set. Developers, testers and integrators can inspect a token, build a call or align configurations. The five utilities are free, need no account, and content is processed in the browser.

Start with the immediate need. JWT reader decodes a token to read its header and payload. Build an HTTP request helps produce a curl command and fetch code. JSON Schema Generator and JSON to TypeScript start from a sample to create a structure. Compare two .env files highlights differences between environment files.

How to use

  1. For a token, start with JWT reader and review header and payload before any other manipulation.
  2. To build a call, use Build an HTTP request and collect the curl command and fetch code.
  3. To infer a structure, go through JSON Schema Generator or JSON to TypeScript depending on the expected output.
  4. To compare configurations, finish with Compare two .env files and spot missing keys, extra keys and diverging values.

Frequently asked questions

Does JWT reader verify the token signature?

No. It reads the header and payload of a JWT to help you understand its content. Signature verification depends on your library and your key. Use this reader as a diagnostic aid, not as a complete security check.

Can I generate TypeScript from a JSON sample?

Yes. JSON to TypeScript produces an interface from a sample. Then check the resulting types, because one sample may not cover every possible case. You can also use JSON Schema Generator for another representation.

What is Compare two .env files for?

It spots missing keys, extra keys and diverging values between two environment files. This helps before a deployment or when taking over a configuration. You see the differences without comparing files line by line.

Can I chain JWT reader and Build an HTTP request?

Yes. JWT reader helps you understand a token's header and payload. Build an HTTP request then helps prepare the matching call. Check sensitive values before placing them in a command or fetch code.

Does JSON Schema Generator replace JSON to TypeScript?

No. JSON Schema Generator produces a schema from a sample, while JSON to TypeScript generates a TypeScript interface. Both start from a sample but answer different needs. Choose according to the control format you expect.
