About

Powerful scratchpad with ability to perform a lot of text transformations, such as:

  • Calculate hashes
  • Encode text
  • Decode text
  • Remove trailing spaces and lines
  • Count lines, symbols and words
  • Format JSON and XML
  • Escape and unescape strings
  • Convert JSON to YAML and vice versa
  • Filter lines
  • And so on.

The application is extendable with your own script-based actions.
