.env to JSON Parser

The .env to JSON parser reads a dotenv file and produces a clean JSON object of its variables, along with a quick key/value table so you can scan everything at a glance.

The dotenv format is the de-facto way to configure Node, Python, Docker and dozens of frameworks, but its small dialect quirks trip people up: this parser handles a leading export keyword, single- and double-quoted values, whole-line and trailing # comments, and blank lines.

Double-quoted values decode the usual \n, \t and \\ escapes, while single-quoted values are taken literally, exactly as the major dotenv libraries behave.

Turning a .env file into JSON is handy when you need to load configuration into a tool that expects structured data, audit which variables are set, generate documentation, or seed a secrets manager.

Crucially, a # inside a quoted value is preserved rather than being mistaken for a comment, so passwords and tokens containing hashes survive intact.

This is exactly the kind of data you should never paste into a random website, which is why My Tools Garage runs everything in your browser.

Your environment variables — API keys, database URLs, tokens — are parsed locally and never uploaded.
