.env to JSON Converter
Convert the contents of a .env (dotenv) file into a clean JSON object. Environment files store configuration as simple KEY=VALUE lines, and sometimes you need that same data as JSON, for example to feed a config loader, seed a secrets manager or document the variables an app expects. This tool parses each line, skips blank lines and full-line comments starting with a hash, splits on the first equals sign so values containing equals signs stay intact, and strips matching surrounding quotes from values. The result is pretty-printed JSON you can copy straight away. Paste your dotenv text, click convert, and read the object. Everything is parsed locally in your browser, so the secrets in your env file are never uploaded or stored anywhere.
How to use .env to JSON
- Paste your .env KEY=VALUE lines.
- Click convert to build the JSON object.
